Maybe my math is incorrect: ... each Bonus Ball should hit 24.5 times

Your understanding of probability may be incorrect. There's nothing about probability that says anything should be selected some particular number of times. About the only should in probability is that all possibilities should have the same probability of being selected when the selections are random, but having the same probability of being selected doesn't mean that all possibilities should be selected the same number of...

5 10 15 20 25

4 9 14 19 24

3 8 13 18 23

2 7 12 17 22

1 6 11 16 21

I think this is the way the balls are stacked in the machine before the drop.

2,12 and 22 are in the same row. You said the other under achievers are

1,23,15,16,7 and 17...All are close to the bottom except for 15 (the exception)..This could have

something to do with it. 26 is missing because the lines for top row weren't there. You know

where it goes.

Can anyone explain why these 3 bonus ball numbers have the 3 longest out skips 68, 205, 56 (2 - 12 - 22)?

I get it. It's a random number game. Anything can happen.

They also have the 4th lowest hit totals. 21 - 17 - 21

Maybe my math is incorrect:

636 total drawings - 5/69 + 1/26

636/29 = each Bonus Ball should hit 24.5 times
