The longest wait in this draw

28 had not appeared for 9 draws. A number waits about 7 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 ≈211k lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 2 plus Bonus — 5,579 winners, 24% more than the 4.5k an even spread gives. The numbers drawn were a little more popular than average — that is the crowd, not the machine.
