41 looks unusual on its own — and unremarkable among 46 numbers
Drawn 31 times in 149 draws against 19.4 expected, +2.81σ. Testing all 46 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.

a completed wait — darker is longer the wait still running — a lower bound, not a finished gap
Where it lands in a sorted draw
Sort a draw and 41 has a favourite seat — chance gives a large number the high positions more often. That is the shape of sorting, not of the machine.
Never drawn alongside 1 of the other 45 numbers; chance expects about 1 such strangers by now. Every pair →
How many people play it
Under the crowd model, 41 is picked about 0.86× as often as an indifferent choice — 33rd most popular of 46. 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: 41 is drawn with probability 6/46 tonight whatever it did last week.
