Machine Bias (Chi-Squared)

Significant deviation

The observed numbers deviate from a fair, uniform machine more than chance predicts.

χ² statistic

997.1

Degrees of freedom

p-value

< 0.0001

Expected / number

151.3

A low p-value means the deviation is unlikely to be pure chance. Note: games whose number range changed over the years can show apparent bias for that reason alone. Past results never predict future draws.

Sum of numbers

Most draws sum near 183 (range 60–312).
