Never drawn alongside 12 of the other 34 numbers; chance expects about 13 such strangers by now. Every pair →
Under the crowd model, 29 is picked about 1.22× as often as an indifferent choice — 15th most popular of 35. That changes nothing about whether it comes up, and everything about how many ways a jackpot on it would be shared.
