Fantasy 5 Hot and Cold Numbers (September 2026)
How often every Fantasy 5 number has come up since March 14, 2026 — 182 draws, with the average shown beside each count.
In short
14 has come up most often, 32 times. Each number averages about 23 over 182 draws, and whichever number happens to lead normally finishes around 10 ahead. 14 is 9 ahead, so this is an ordinary spread rather than a streak. 7 has come up least, 15 times.
The California Lottery publishes about a year of past draws, so this table starts at March 14, 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 23.3, standard deviation 4.5. The leader sits at 1.92 standard deviations against an expected maximum of 2.15 for 39 numbers; a lead at least this large arises by chance about 89% of the time. Goodness of fit to a uniform draw: chi-square 32.1 on 38 degrees of freedom, p = 0.739. How we calculate it.

Frequently asked questions
- Do hot and cold numbers predict anything?
- No. The gap between the most and least drawn number here is 17 appearances, which is about what 182 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?
- Two reasons, both on our sources page. We only count draws since the game last changed its set of balls, because counting across a change mixes two different games. And we check 1 official sources against each other — one of them is missing draws the others have.
- What does the shaded band on the chart mean?
- It marks the normal range — where 19 out of 20 numbers land when every ball 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 to March 14, 2026 — 182 draws. The frequency table on this page uses the 182 draws since January 1, 2003, because that is when this pool last changed size. Browse every draw by year.
