No documented preference lifts or lowers it — the model treats it as an even pick.

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: 41 is drawn with probability 5/69 tonight whatever it did last week.
