The longest wait in this draw

32 had not appeared for 69 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 ≈13M lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 3 plus Bonus Ball — 855 winners, 6% fewer than the 908 an even spread gives. The real crowd and an even spread agreed closely on this draw.
