Atlantic Bucko Number Pairs

Which two numbers have turned up in the same draw most often, across 3,737 draws. With 5 numbers drawn from 41, any given pair should appear about 45.6 times by chance alone.

A pair at the top of this list is not linked to its partner. There are 820 possible pairs, so some of them will land well above average purely because that is how randomness distributes — and which ones do changes over time.
