Number 10

In The Pick under the 6/44 · since Apr 2010 rules — 1,962 draws, 6 from 1–44.

228times drawn · chance expected 268 −2.60σ

3draws waiting · a wait this long: 75% for any number

8.6average wait between appearances · chance says 7.3

50longest completed wait · 16% chance of one at least that long

10 looks unusual on its own — and unremarkable among 44 numbers

Drawn 228 times in 1,962 draws against 267.5 expected, −2.60σ. Testing all 44 numbers at once means about 0.4 should look this way by luck alone, so the threshold tightens to 2.3e-4 and this does not pass it.

Number 10, draw by draw

Drawn 228 times in 1,962 draws · average wait 8.6 draws · longest completed wait 50 · waiting 3 draws now

a completed wait — darker is longer the wait still running — a lower bound, not a finished gap

Where it lands in a sorted draw

Sort a draw and 10 has a favourite seat — chance gives a small number the low positions more often. That is the shape of sorting, not of the machine.

What this cannot tell you

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: 10 is drawn with probability 6/44 tonight whatever it did last week.
