The longest wait in this draw

49 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 ≈910k lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 2 + Powerball — 1,142 winners, 12% fewer than the 1.3k an even spread gives. The numbers drawn were a little less popular than average — that is the crowd, not the machine.
