The longest wait in this draw

    • Where chance put the count

    The rings take the ≈294k lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 3 — 18,940 winners, 381% more than the 3.9k an even spread gives. The numbers drawn were noticeably more 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.
