How is that absymal ? They're randomly drawn numbers. Did you expect each one to be drawn the same number of times a year? It wouldn't be random if that were the case.

Wow, didn't know that red ball 2 only came up 2 or 3 times a year between 2016-2018. That's much worse than I thought. That's beyond abysmal.

Yeah, Red Ball #2 stunk up the joint with 2 or 3 hits per year in 2016 through 2018. Then in 2019 it jumped up to 5 hits per year thru 2024.

Then it went ballistic in 2025 with 10 hits which was tied with #1 and #25 for second place behind #20 which blasted out 12 hits. Go figure. G5

I noticed the semi exact opposite happening with red ball 2. Red ball 2 hadn't come up for many months and then started popping up more consistently.

Interesting. I wrote a program to simulate 100,000 trials of 1,310 drawings of the red PB number, and tabulate how many times the most frequently drawn number was drawn. Let this value be F .

The average value of F is 64.9. The median is 64.

The minimum value was 55 (2 of 100,000 trials) and the maximum value was 97 (1 of 100,000 trials).

The percentage of all trials in which F is 63 or less is 38%.
