Why sums bunch in the middle
The 7 main numbers can add up to anything from 28 to 343, but far more combinations land near the middle of that range than at the edges, so most draws do too. A line of low numbers (like 1 through 7) has exactly the same chance as any other single line; it just belongs to a much smaller group of combinations.
Every draw is independent: the machine has no memory, so a number that has come up often, rarely or not for a long time has exactly the same chance as any other in the next draw. These figures describe what has happened, not what will.
