The company it keeps Seen most often with these — chance gives every partner about 5.2 shared draws, and the leaders are simply the ones that came out ahead this time.
It has shared a draw with every one of the other 49 numbers; chance expected about 0.3 still unmet by now. Every pair →
How many people play it Under the crowd model, 1 is picked about 1.34× as often as an indifferent choice — 6th most popular of 50. That changes nothing about whether it comes up, and everything about how many ways a jackpot on it would be shared.
