How big is the difference?
On average each main number has been drawn 116.5 times in these 1,146 draws. The most-drawn number is 18 draws above that average and the least-drawn 20 below. Spreads of this size are what random draws produce over a few hundred or thousand draws; they don’t mark any number as favoured.
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.
