La Primitiva numbers

Across 1,643 draws, each number is expected about 201 times. Not one stands out, even before allowing for the fact that testing all 49 numbers at once would throw up about 0.5 apparent findings by luck alone. Nothing survives it: these draws behave exactly as random draws should.

Nothing here predicts the next draw. Each draw is independent: a number absent for fifty draws is exactly as likely to appear tonight as one drawn yesterday. The point of comparing against expectation is to show when a difference is ordinary — which, in a fair draw, it almost always is.
