a completed wait — darker is longer the wait still running — a lower bound, not a finished gap
Too few completed waits to plot a distribution for this number alone.
Sort a draw and 41 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 0.2 shared draws, and the leaders are simply the ones that came out ahead this time.
Never drawn alongside 73 of the other 89 numbers; chance expects about 74 such strangers by now. Every pair →
Under the crowd model, 41 is picked about 0.86× as often as an indifferent choice — 38th most popular of 90. 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: 41 is drawn with probability 5/90 tonight whatever it did last week.
