Lotto 6/42 — Number Statistics
Covering 2016-01-02 to 2026-07-30
How often each number has been drawn
Every number in the pool with its draw count. Colour shows how far each sits from the expected count — warmer means drawn more often than average, cooler means less. The spread is what ordinary randomness looks like, not a pattern.
Across 1,576 draws the gap between the most and least drawn number is 49 appearances. That is normal random variation, not a signal.
Most drawn
Least drawn
Longest time since last drawn
How many draws ago each number last appeared. Sometimes called "overdue" numbers — they are not. A number that has not appeared in 60 draws has exactly the same chance tonight as one drawn yesterday.

Is the draw fair?
We ran 218 statistical tests across every game in this archive — chi-square goodness of fit, runs tests, autocorrelation, entropy, Markov transitions and spectral analysis. After correcting for multiple comparisons, not one game showed any deviation from randomness. The numbers on this page are history, not a forecast.
These statistics are published because people enjoy them, not because they confer an advantage.
