Number 9

In Hoosier Lotto under the 6/48 · since Jan 2010 rules — 1,751 draws, 6 from 1–48.

255times drawn · chance expected 219 +2.61σ

3draws waiting · a wait this long: 77% for any number

6.9average wait between appearances · chance says 8.0

36longest completed wait · 91% chance of one at least that long

9 looks unusual on its own — and unremarkable among 48 numbers

Drawn 255 times in 1,751 draws against 218.9 expected, +2.61σ. Testing all 48 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.

Number 9, draw by draw

Drawn 255 times in 1,751 draws · average wait 6.9 draws · longest completed wait 36 · 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 9 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: 9 is drawn with probability 6/48 tonight whatever it did last week.
