It has shared a draw with every one of the other 55 numbers; chance expected about 0.1 still unmet by now. Every pair →
How many people play it Under the crowd model, 14 is picked about 1.22× as often as an indifferent choice — 15th most popular of 56. That changes nothing about whether it comes up, and everything about how many ways a jackpot on it would be shared.
