The longest wait in this draw

31 had not appeared for 20 draws. A number waits about 8 on average, and a wait this long was not a signal — the machine has no memory of it.

    The rings take the ≈726k lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 3 — 6,793 winners, 4% fewer than the 7.1k an even spread gives. The real crowd and an even spread agreed closely on this draw.
