Pure chance predicts about 66.7 (5 of 70 balls each draw), so it is running 5.3 above that, in the middle of the pack (rank 21 of 70). In the last 100 draws it appeared 9 times.

Every draw is random and independent. How often a number came up in the past doesn't make it more or less likely next time — the odds of the jackpot stay 1 in 290.5 million for every ticket. Why we say so.
