7 looks unusual on its own — and unremarkable among 41 numbers
Drawn 41 times in 495 draws against 60.4 expected, −2.66σ. Testing all 41 numbers at once means about 0.4 should look this way by luck alone, so the threshold tightens to 2.4e-4 and this does not pass it.

Where it lands in a sorted draw
Sort a draw and 7 has a favourite seat — chance gives a small number the low positions more often. That is the shape of sorting, not of the machine.
It has shared a draw with every one of the other 40 numbers; chance expected about 0.7 still unmet by now. Every pair →
How many people play it
Under the crowd model, 7 is picked about 1.54× as often as an indifferent choice — 1st most popular of 41. That changes nothing about whether it comes up, and everything about how many ways a jackpot on it would be shared.
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: 7 is drawn with probability 5/41 tonight whatever it did last week.
