Frequency Statistics
How often has each number been drawn in Lotto? This page ranks every ball in the current pool from most to least drawn, with hot and cold classifications based on deviation from the statistical average.
A note on the ball pool: Lottoused a 6/58 pool between 24 September 2025 and 31 May 2026 before reverting to today's 6/52 format. Those 72draws are excluded here — a ball drawn from a different pool had different odds, so counting them together would distort every number's frequency.
The dashed reference line on the chart marks the expected frequency: if draws were perfectly uniform, every number would appear equally often. Numbers sitting well above the line are classified as hot; those well below are cold. In practice, some deviation is normal — it does not mean the draws are non-random.
Important: frequency statistics are historical observations only. Every lottery draw is an independent random event. A number that has appeared frequently in the past is not more or less likely to appear next draw.

How to read frequency statistics
The frequency chart shows how many times each ball has been drawn across all Lotto draws played under the current 6/52 pool. The expected frequency — the dashed line — is calculated as: (total draws × balls per draw) ÷ pool size. Numbers above this line have appeared more than average; numbers below it have appeared less.
Hot numbers (orange) have appeared more than 15% above the expected average. Cold numbers (blue) have appeared more than 15% below it. Everything in between is within normal statistical noise for a random draw process.
The overdue numbers section shows which balls have gone the longest without appearing. Again, this is a historical observation — there is no “law of averages” that makes an overdue number more likely to be drawn next. National Lottery draw machines are tested for statistical independence.
Frequency statistics are purely historical. Past draw frequency has no predictive value for future draws — every combination is equally probable in each independent draw.
