The longest wait in this draw

46 had not appeared for 47 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 ≈15M lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 3 plus Powerball — 1,223 winners, 17% more than the 1.0k an even spread gives. The numbers drawn were a little more popular than average — that is the crowd, not the machine.
