How to read this the groups are not equal
Every number belongs to the group of its last digit: 071727 and so on. The groups are not the same size, and they change with the pool. Under a pool of 49 the digit 0 holds only 10203040, because there is no 50. When the pool grew, some groups grew with it. The chance prediction counts each group's size from every draw's own pool, so no digit is handed a bigger or smaller share than it should have.
The dashed band on each bar is the range an appearance count wanders in on its own. A bar inside the band has found nothing.

A good run says where the measure has been, not where it is going. Each draw is drawn afresh, and every number has the same chance next time whatever its last digit has done lately.
Applied to the latest draw draw 1277 · 2026-10-09
This draw held 2 ending in 0 1050 3 ending in 9 192939
Over the last 100 draws the digit furthest above its predicted share is 1 (+12.3%). The numbers ending in 1 in today's pool are 011121314151; 0 of them were in the latest draw.
Whichever digit leads, it will always be one of ten, and the leader changes as draws are added. Each number in the pool has the same 7 in 52 chance next time.
Why the top digit is not a discovery
The digit 8 leads, at +3.9%, and 3 trails, at -6.4%. Ten digits always produce a first and a last, whether or not anything is going on. 1 of the ten sit outside that range, which is about what ten comparisons produce on their own.
These figures describe draws that have already happened. They do not say anything about the next one. What you make of them is up to you.
