The longest wait in this draw

34 had not appeared for 13 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 ≈711k lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 4 — 671 winners, 3% fewer than the 689 an even spread gives. The real crowd and an even spread agreed closely on this draw.
