Sum and shape

148

The numbers add up to 148 — the 47th percentile of all possible tickets, around a middle of 150. Side-by-side numbers: 12–13, 45–46. 50% of draws have at least one such pair.

The longest wait in this draw

28 had not appeared for 18 draws. A number waits about 8 on average, and a wait this long was not a signal — the machine has no memory of it.

    The rings take the ≈880k lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 4 — 779 winners, 9% fewer than the 852 an even spread gives. The real crowd and an even spread agreed closely on this draw.
