Georgia Five Hot and Cold Numbers (September 2026)

The most drawn Georgia Five numbers are 9 (5,997), 1 (5,966), and 4 (5,956); the least drawn are 2 (5,803), 7 (5,837), and 3 (5,847). That is over 11,788 draws since August 1, 2010, against an average of 5894 apiece.

In short

9 has come up most often, 5,997 times. Each number averages about 5894 over 11,788 draws, and whichever number happens to lead normally finishes around 112 ahead. 9 is 103 ahead, so this is an ordinary spread rather than a streak. 2 has come up least, 5,803 times.

The lottery publishes about a year of past draws, so this table starts at August 1, 2010 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 5894.0, standard deviation 72.8. The leader sits at 1.41 standard deviations against an expected maximum of 1.54 for 10 numbers; a lead at least this large arises by chance about 82% of the time. Goodness of fit to a uniform draw: chi-square 7.3 on 9 degrees of freedom, p = 0.607. How we calculate it.

How far each number is above or below its average of 5894 draws. The shaded band is the normal range — where 19 of every 20 numbers land. Every number is inside it.

Most and least drawn are 194 apart. For 10 numbers over 11,788 draws that gap normally comes out around 224, 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 194 appearances, which is about what 11,788 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 10 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 Georgia Five data go?
Our full history runs to August 1, 2010 — 11,788 draws. The frequency table on this page uses the 11,788 draws since January 1, 2010, because that is when this pool last changed size. Browse every draw by year.
