12 looks unusual on its own — and unremarkable among 45 numbers Drawn 103 times in 601 draws against 80.1 expected, +2.74σ. Testing all 45 numbers at once means about 0.5 should look this way by luck alone, so the threshold tightens to 2.2e-4 and this does not pass it. It has also come out as the bonus ball 11 times, counted separately.

The company it keeps Seen most often with these — chance gives every partner about 11.7 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 44 numbers; chance expected about 0.0 still unmet by now. Every pair →
How many people play it Under the crowd model, 12 is picked about 1.34× as often as an indifferent choice — 6th most popular of 45. That changes nothing about whether it comes up, and everything about how many ways a jackpot on it would be shared.
