The longest wait in this draw

29 had not appeared for 19 draws. A number waits about 9 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 ≈292k lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 3 — 15,160 winners, 288% 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.
