The longest wait in this draw

4 had not appeared for 26 draws. A number waits about 14 on average, and a wait this long was not a signal — the machine has no memory of it.

    • Where chance put the count

    The rings take the ≈12M lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 3 plus Bonus Ball — 1,036 winners, 24% more than the 835 an even spread gives. The numbers drawn were a little more popular than average — that is the crowd, not the machine.
