In Big Sky Bonus under the 4/31 + 1/17 · Nov 2016 – Oct 2024 rules — 2,889 draws, 4 from 1–31 (an earlier era).

422times drawn · chance expected 373 +2.73σ

9 looks unusual on its own — and unremarkable among 31 numbers

Drawn 422 times in 2,889 draws against 372.8 expected, +2.73σ. Testing all 31 numbers at once means about 0.3 should look this way by luck alone, so the threshold tightens to 3.2e-4 and this does not pass it.
