Number 12

In Weekday Windfall under the 6/45 + 2/45 · since Jan 2010 rules — 1,863 draws, 6 from 1–45.

210times drawn · chance expected 248 −2.62σ

8.8average wait between appearances · chance says 7.5

74longest completed wait · 0.6% chance of one at least that long

12 looks unusual on its own — and unremarkable among 45 numbers

Drawn 210 times in 1,863 draws against 248.4 expected, −2.62σ. Testing all 45 numbers at once means about 0.5 should look this way by luck alone, so the threshold tightens to 2.2e-4 and this does not pass it. It has also come out as the bonus ball 94 times, counted separately.
