Machine Bias (Chi-Squared)

Significant deviation

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

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.
