The longest wait in this draw

28 had not appeared for 16 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 ≈33k lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 2 — 2,636 winners, 0% more than the 2.6k an even spread gives. The real crowd and an even spread agreed closely on this draw.
