Never drawn alongside 7 of the other 48 numbers; chance expects about 6 such strangers by now. Every pair →
How many people play it
Under the crowd model, 25 is picked about 1.22× as often as an indifferent choice — 15th most popular of 49. 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: 25 is drawn with probability 5/49 tonight whatever it did last week.
