Interval Distribution Across Historical Draws

Mega Millions is a multi state lottery in United States, where 5 main numbers are drawn from a pool of 170, plus mega ball from 1–25. Since each draw is an independent event, the gap between two appearances of the same number varies — this dataset breaks down how often each interval length has occurred historically.

Numbers with a wide, evenly spread interval distribution have historically shown less clustering, while those with more concentrated intervals have historically reappeared within a narrower range of draw counts — both are within expected statistical variation for a pool of this size.
