The longest wait in this draw

35 had not appeared for 30 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 ≈25M lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 2 — 38,093 winners, 96% fewer than the 883k an even spread gives. The numbers drawn were noticeably less popular than average — a draw full of birthdays makes more small winners, a draw of high numbers fewer. That is the crowd, not the machine.
