In short

1 has come up most often, 4,712 times. Each digit averages about 4,539 over 15,131 draws, and the front-runner normally finishes around 98 ahead. 1 is 173 ahead — a bigger lead than usual, but still the kind chance hands out. 3 sits at the back with 4,450.

The statistics behind that

Expected count 4539.3, standard deviation 63.9. The leader sits at 2.70 standard deviations against an expected maximum of 1.54 for 10 numbers; a lead at least this large arises by chance about 7% of the time. Goodness of fit to a uniform draw: chi-square 13.9 on 9 degrees of freedom, p = 0.127. How we calculate it.

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

How far each number is above or below its average of 4,539 appearances. The shaded band is the normal range — where 19 of every 20 numbers land. 1 of 10 stick out, and about 1 normally do. The numbers printed on the chart are the highest, the lowest and anything outside the band.

Most and least drawn are 262 apart. For 10 digits over 15,131 draws that gap normally comes out around 197, so this one is a little wider than usual.

Frequently asked questions

Do hot and cold numbers predict anything?
No. The gap between the most and least drawn digit here is 262 appearances, which is about what 15,131 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. Pick 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 Pick 3 data go?
Our full history runs back to January 1, 2001 — 15,131 draws. The frequency table on this page uses the 15,131 draws since January 1, 2001, which is every draw of three digits, each from 0 to 9. Browse every draw by year.
