Machine Bias (Chi-Squared)

Looks fair

Number frequencies are consistent with a fair, random machine.

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.

Per-machine fairness

This game's numbers come from separate draw machines — each is tested for bias on its own.

Digit 2 (0–9) Fair
