Reading the draws and working out what chance predicts.

Drawn 24 times in 216 draws against 27.6 expected, −0.73σ. Each draw is independent: after 1 draws away it is exactly as likely tonight as a number drawn yesterday. It has also come out as the bonus ball 4 times, counted separately.
Drawn 24 times in 216 draws · average wait 9.1 draws · longest completed wait 28 · waiting 1 draws now
a completed wait — darker is longer the wait still running — a lower bound, not a finished gap
Sort a draw and 26 has a favourite seat — chance gives a large number the high positions more often. That is the shape of sorting, not of the machine.
Seen most often with these — chance gives every partner about 2.6 shared draws, and the leaders are simply the ones that came out ahead this time.
Never drawn alongside 1 of the other 46 numbers; chance expects about 3 such strangers by now. Every pair →
Under the crowd model, 26 is picked about 1.22× as often as an indifferent choice — 15th most popular of 47. 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: 26 is drawn with probability 6/47 tonight whatever it did last week.
