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

Drawn 287 times in 1,863 draws against 248.4 expected, +2.63σ. 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 81 times, counted separately.
