In short

41 has come up most often, 76 times. Each number averages about 62 over 558 draws, and the front-runner normally finishes around 16 ahead. 41 is 14 ahead — a bigger lead than usual, but still the kind chance hands out. 31 sits at the back with 38.

The lottery publishes about a year of past draws, so this table starts at April 15, 2025 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 62.0, standard deviation 7.4. The leader sits at 1.89 standard deviations against an expected maximum of 2.21 for 45 numbers; a lead at least this large arises by chance about 5% of the time. Goodness of fit to a uniform draw: chi-square 52.3 on 44 degrees of freedom, p = 0.182. 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 62 appearances. The shaded band is the normal range — where 19 of every 20 numbers land. 2 of 45 stick out, and about 2 normally do. The numbers printed on the chart are the highest, the lowest and anything outside the band.

Most and least drawn are 38 apart. For 45 numbers over 558 draws that gap normally comes out around 33, so this one is about what you would expect.

Frequently asked questions

Do hot and cold numbers predict anything?
No. The gap between the most and least drawn number here is 38 appearances, which is about what 558 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. Cash 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 45 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 Cash 5 data go?
Our full history runs back to April 15, 2025 — 558 draws. The frequency table on this page uses the 558 draws since April 15, 2025, the first the lottery still publishes. Browse every draw by year.
