Every digit's count since April 16, 2026 →

The California Lottery publishes about a year of past draws, so this table starts at April 16, 2026 rather than at the last rule change. We store every new draw as it happens, so it deepens by one line a day.

The statistics behind that

Expected count 114.6, standard deviation 10.2. The leader sits at 1.81 standard deviations against an expected maximum of 1.54 for 10 numbers; a lead at least this large arises by chance about 52% of the time. Goodness of fit to a uniform draw: chi-square 10.9 on 9 degrees of freedom, p = 0.285. How we calculate it.

Every number at a glance

Shaded by how far above or below its average each number is — red for more often than average, blue for less. Most sit in the middle.

How far above or below average

Point at a bar — or tap one, or press the arrow keys — to see which number it is.

Most and least drawn are 34 apart. For 10 digits over 382 draws that gap normally comes out around 31, so this one is about what you would expect.

Longest wait

7 has not been drawn for 5 draws. Gaps that long are rarer than average for any one number, but with 10 numbers in the game a wait that long has happened about 213 times over this stretch. It does not make 7 any likelier tonight.

Frequently asked questions

Do hot and cold numbers predict anything?

No. The gap between the most and least drawn digit here is 34 appearances, which is about what 382 draws produce on their own. The table is worth looking at; it is not worth betting on.

Why do your frequencies differ from other sites?

Mostly because we only count draws since the game last changed its set of balls: counting across a change mixes two different games. Daily 3 is published by a single official feed, and every draw here is that feed's record; our sources page says which.

What does the shaded band on the chart mean?

It marks the normal range — where 19 out of 20 digits land when every one is equally likely. With 10 digits on the chart, one sticking out now and then is the usual picture rather than a sign of anything.

How far back does this Daily 3 data go?

Our full history runs back to April 16, 2026 — 382 draws. The frequency table on this page uses the 382 draws since April 16, 2026, the first the lottery still publishes. Browse every draw by year.
