Lotto Lotto statistics

How many draws have passed since it last came out (0 = drawn in the last draw). Each number comes out once every 8.2 draws on average, but the gaps vary a lot. The latest now is 22: missing for 34 draws. For one given number that happens about 1 time in 85; with 49 numbers, though, one of them is almost always that late. Being late does not make it more likely to come out.

In how many of the 2,764 draws we have each number came out. By pure chance each would have about 338, and anywhere from 304 to 373 is perfectly normal. A number that came out more often is not "lucky": the next draw does not know what happened before.

Each draw takes 6 of the 49 numbers, so each number has a 12.2% chance to come out, every time. "Chance expects" is that chance times the number of draws: how often it would come out on average if everything is fair. The real numbers are always a little above or below — that is exactly what chance looks like.

That is what players call the numbers that came out many times lately (hot) and those that came out a few times or never (cold). In the grids, the darker the colour the more times the number came out; the number under the ball says exactly how many. In 12 draws chance expects about 1.5 times for each number, in 25 about 3.1.

No. The draw machine does not remember earlier results, so every number has the same chance in every draw, however often it came out lately. A "cold" number is not "due" and a "hot" one is not "on fire". The numbers here show what happened — not what will happen.

How many times two given numbers came out together in the same draw. By pure chance each pair comes out about 35.3 times over the whole history. With hundreds of pairs, some will always be well above that and some well below — without meaning anything for the next draw.

Numbers next to each other, like 14 and 15 (a pair) or 7, 8, 9 (a triple). Many players avoid them, yet they come out more often than people think: the table shows how many draws had a pair, a triple and so on, and how many chance expects.

In each draw we count how many numbers were odd (1, 3, 5, …) and how many were low (up to 24). The table shows how often each split came out, e.g. 3 odd and 2 even, next to what chance expects.

A decade is the group 1–9, 10–19, 20–29 and so on; the last digit is the final digit (7, 17 and 27 end in 7). We count how many numbers of each group come out in one draw on average. The first decade has only 9 numbers, so chance expects fewer from it.

We add up the numbers of a draw (e.g. 3 + 15 + 22 + 30 + 41 = 111). Sums around 150 are the most common simply because many more combinations add up to them — not because one combination is more likely than another.

Draws that look "impossible", e.g. many consecutive numbers or all odd. Next to each we write how rare such a thing is (1 time in …). With thousands of draws, a few like these are certain to happen. And every single combination, "unusual" or not, has exactly the same chance.

Two draws that had almost the same numbers. With so many draws, plenty of such pairs are expected; the section also says how many chance expects.
