I suppose you meant the value here:

Events summary
Total: 505 915 405 000 events

Simple answer: because not all jobs have 100,000 events.

Every job description has several attempts.
Example of one of your tasks: [boinc pp w1j 7000 250 - pythia6 6.427 379 100000 270]
Your run is the 270th attempt to process 100,000 events with the same parameters.
Sometimes the number of events for a next attempt of a job is reduced when a returned result takes too ....... ?
I don't know what criteria is used, but when the sherpa generator is used, it's happening more often.
