Michigan Daily 3 Hot and Cold Numbers (October 2026)

The most drawn Michigan Daily 3 numbers are 3 (3,726), 6 (3,723), and 7 (3,692); the least drawn are 0 (3,583), 4 (3,616), and 9 (3,637). That is over 12,221 draws since January 1, 2010, when the game last changed its set of balls, against an average of 3666 apiece.

In short

3 has come up most often, 3,726 times. Each number averages about 3666 over 12,221 draws, and whichever number happens to lead normally finishes around 88 ahead. 3 is 60 ahead, so this is an ordinary spread rather than a streak. 0 has come up least, 3,583 times.

The statistics behind that

Expected count 3666.3, standard deviation 57.4. The leader sits at 1.04 standard deviations against an expected maximum of 1.54 for 10 numbers; a lead at least this large arises by chance about 80% of the time. Goodness of fit to a uniform draw: chi-square 5.5 on 9 degrees of freedom, p = 0.785. 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 3666 draws. The shaded band is the normal range — where 19 of every 20 numbers land. Every number is inside it. The numbers printed on the chart are the highest, the lowest and anything outside the band.

Most and least drawn are 143 apart. For 10 numbers over 12,221 draws that gap normally comes out around 177, so this one is about what you would expect.

Why the count starts in 2010

Michigan Daily 3 has changed how many balls it draws, and from how many, 1 times. Counting across a change mixes two different games — a ball that did not exist yet cannot be behind. So everything above covers only the stretch since January 1, 2010, when this game settled on 3 numbers from 10.

How we calculate all of this.

Frequently asked questions

Do hot and cold numbers predict anything?
No. The gap between the most and least drawn number here is 143 appearances, which is about what 12,221 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 Michigan Daily 3 data go?
Our full history runs to January 1, 2010 — 12,221 draws. The frequency table on this page uses the 12,221 draws since January 1, 2010, because that is when this pool last changed size. Browse every draw by year.
