Brunchtime: most-drawn numbers

Picked the 6 numbers drawn most often in the last 50 draws: 5 (10×), 8 (9×), 9 (9×), 16 (10×), 22 (9×), 31 (10×). By chance, each number would appear about 6.1 times in 50 draws.

1. Take the last 50 official draws.
2. Count how often each number was drawn.
3. Pick the most frequent numbers. Ties go to the number seen most recently.

Limits: Past frequency has no effect on the next draw. Over 50 draws, some numbers come up more often purely by chance.

Replayed over the last 100 draws, this strategy averaged 0.76 hits a draw. Random numbers average 0.73.
