Every number's count since April 15, 2026 →

The California Lottery publishes about a year of past draws, so this table starts at April 15, 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 24.6, standard deviation 4.6. The leader sits at 2.46 standard deviations against an expected maximum of 2.15 for 39 numbers; a lead at least this large arises by chance about 38% of the time. Goodness of fit to a uniform draw: chi-square 39.6 on 38 degrees of freedom, p = 0.400. How we calculate it.

Longest wait

21 has not been drawn for 33 draws. Gaps that long are rarer than average for any one number, but with 39 numbers in the game a wait that long has happened about 10 times over this stretch. It does not make 21 any likelier tonight.

Frequently asked questions

Do hot and cold numbers predict anything?

No. The gap between the most and least drawn number here is 23 appearances, which is about what 192 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. Fantasy 5 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 numbers land when every one is equally likely. With 39 numbers on the chart, two or three sticking out above or below it is the usual picture rather than a sign of anything.

How far back does this Fantasy 5 data go?

Our full history runs back to April 15, 2026 — 192 draws. The frequency table on this page uses the 192 draws since April 15, 2026, the first the lottery still publishes. Browse every draw by year.
