Western 649 Number Pairs

Which two numbers have turned up in the same draw most often, across 1,103 draws. With 6 numbers drawn from 49, any given pair should appear about 14.1 times by chance alone.

A pair at the top of this list is not linked to its partner. There are 1,176 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.
