27 looks unusual on its own — and unremarkable among 47 numbers

Drawn 179 times in 1,150 draws against 146.8 expected, +2.84σ. Testing all 47 numbers at once means about 0.5 should look this way by luck alone, so the threshold tightens to 2.1e-4 and this does not pass it. It has also come out as the bonus ball 22 times, counted separately.
