Do hot and cold numbers predict anything?

No. The gap between the most and least drawn number here is 189 appearances, which is about what 12,231 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 4 data go?

Our full history runs to January 1, 2010 — 12,231 draws. The frequency table on this page uses the 12,231 draws since January 1, 2010, because that is when this pool last changed size. Browse every draw by year.

Michigan Daily 4 Hot and Cold Numbers (October 2026)

The most drawn Michigan Daily 4 numbers are 5 (4,940), 0 (4,934), and 1 (4,926); the least drawn are 6 (4,751), 4 (4,872), and 9 (4,887). That is over 12,231 draws since January 1, 2010, when the game last changed its set of balls, against an average of 4892 apiece.

In short

5 has come up most often, 4,940 times. Each number averages about 4892 over 12,231 draws, and whichever number happens to lead normally finishes around 102 ahead. 5 is 48 ahead, so this is an ordinary spread rather than a streak. 6 has come up least, 4,751 times.

The statistics behind that

Expected count 4892.4, standard deviation 66.4. The leader sits at 0.72 standard deviations against an expected maximum of 1.54 for 10 numbers; a lead at least this large arises by chance about 29% of the time. Goodness of fit to a uniform draw: chi-square 5.9 on 9 degrees of freedom, p = 0.747. How we calculate it.

How far above or below average

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 4892 draws. The shaded band is the normal range — where 19 of every 20 numbers land. 1 of 10 stick out, and about 1 normally do. The numbers printed on the chart are the highest, the lowest and anything outside the band.

Most and least drawn are 189 apart. For 10 numbers over 12,231 draws that gap normally comes out around 204, so this one is about what you would expect.
