47 looks unusual on its own — and unremarkable among 59 numbers

Drawn 134 times in 1,668 draws against 169.6 expected, −2.89σ. Testing all 59 numbers at once means about 0.6 should look this way by luck alone, so the threshold tightens to 1.7e-4 and this does not pass it. It has also come out as the bonus ball 22 times, counted separately.
