The longest wait in this draw

26 had not appeared for 22 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 — 18,020 winners, 19% fewer than the 22k an even spread gives. The numbers drawn were a little less popular than average — that is the crowd, not the machine.
