The numbers

Is it random?

The standard tests, and what they say about these draws.

How to read this page. A fair lottery should pass these tests — that is the expected result. If one does flag something, likely reasons include sample size, an uneven number of draws per lottery, or how the source documents were read.

Are the digits evenly spread?

Checks whether digits 0–9 appear about equally often. A p-value of 0.05 or above is consistent with chance.

The observed distribution differs from a perfectly even spread.

How much variety is there?

Measures how evenly the digits are spread. 1.0 is perfectly even.

Entropy (bits)
3.3218
Normalised
1.0000

Entropy summarises how evenly digits are spread. A value near 1 is close to even.

Do odd and even alternate the way chance predicts?

Checks whether the last digit alternates between odd and even as often as independent draws would.

The alternation differs from the usual random range. Review the ordering and sample size alongside it.

Does one draw hint at the next?

Checks whether one draw’s last digit carries information about the next. In a fair lottery it should not.

The relationship falls outside the usual range. Review the sample size and ordering alongside it.
