Reading the draws and working out what chance predicts.
In Lotto 6aus49 under the 6/49 + 1/9 · since Sep 2024 rules — 213 draws, 6 from 1–49.
Drawn 34 times in 213 draws against 26.1 expected, +1.66σ. Each draw is independent: after 2 draws away it is exactly as likely tonight as a number drawn yesterday.
Drawn 34 times in 213 draws · average wait 6.1 draws · longest completed wait 24 · waiting 2 draws now
a completed wait — darker is longer the wait still running — a lower bound, not a finished gap
Sort a draw and 7 has a favourite seat — chance gives a small number the low positions more often. That is the shape of sorting, not of the machine.
Seen most often with these — chance gives every partner about 3.5 shared draws, and the leaders are simply the ones that came out ahead this time.
Never drawn alongside 1 of the other 48 numbers; chance expects about 1 such strangers by now. Every pair →
Under the crowd model, 7 is picked about 1.54× as often as an indifferent choice — 1st most popular of 49. That changes nothing about whether it comes up, and everything about how many ways a jackpot on it would be shared.

Nothing here predicts the next draw. A number’s history is a record of a fair machine’s past, and the machine keeps none of it: 7 is drawn with probability 6/49 tonight whatever it did last week.
