Generate DC 5 numbers
Hot-weighted picks each digit in proportion to how often it came up in the window above, cold-weighted the reverse. Each position is weighted on its own counts. Your browser's own randomness; nothing is sent to us.

In short
6 has come up most often, 2,277 times. Each digit averages about 2,192 over 4,384 draws, and whichever digit happens to lead normally finishes around 68 ahead. 6 is 85 ahead, so this is an ordinary spread rather than a streak. 3 has come up least, 2,092 times.
The lottery publishes about a year of past draws, so this table starts at October 17, 2020 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 2192.0, standard deviation 44.4. The leader sits at 1.91 standard deviations against an expected maximum of 1.54 for 10 numbers; a lead at least this large arises by chance about 22% of the time. Goodness of fit to a uniform draw: chi-square 14.6 on 9 degrees of freedom, p = 0.101. 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.

Longest wait
2 has not been drawn for 8 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 265 times over this stretch. It does not make 2 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 185 appearances, which is about what 4,384 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. DC 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 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 DC 5 data go?
- Our full history runs back to October 17, 2020 — 4,384 draws. The frequency table on this page uses the 4,384 draws since October 17, 2020, the first the lottery still publishes. Browse every draw by year.
