In short

3 has come up most often, 28 times. Each number averages about 21 over 243 draws, and whichever number happens to lead normally finishes around 10 ahead. 3 is 7 ahead, so this is an ordinary spread rather than a streak. 34 has come up least, 13 times.

The statistics behind that

Expected count 20.9, standard deviation 4.4. The leader sits at 1.61 standard deviations against an expected maximum of 2.31 for 58 numbers; a lead at least this large arises by chance about 98% of the time. Goodness of fit to a uniform draw: chi-square 45.1 on 57 degrees of freedom, p = 0.873. 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.

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 21 appearances. 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 15 apart. For 58 numbers over 243 draws that gap normally comes out around 20, so this one is a little narrower than usual.

Millionaire Ball numbers

Drawn from a separate machine, 1 from 5, over the 243 draws since February 22, 2026 .

4 has come up most often, 63 times. Each number averages about 49 over 243 draws, and the front-runner normally finishes around 7 ahead. 4 is 14 ahead — a bigger lead than usual, but still the kind chance hands out. 5 sits at the back with 40.

The statistics behind that

Expected count 48.6, standard deviation 6.2. The leader sits at 2.31 standard deviations against an expected maximum of 1.16 for 5 numbers; a lead at least this large arises by chance about 10% of the time. Goodness of fit to a uniform draw: chi-square 7.8 on 4 degrees of freedom, p = 0.097.

Frequently asked questions

Do hot and cold numbers predict anything?
No. The gap between the most and least drawn number here is 15 appearances, which is about what 243 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 3 official sources against each other — 4 draws were missing from one of them and recovered from another.
What does the shaded band on the chart mean?
It marks the normal range — where 19 out of 20 numbers land when every one is equally likely. With 58 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 Millionaire for Life data go?
Our full history runs back to February 22, 2026 — 243 draws. The frequency table on this page uses the 243 draws since February 22, 2026, which is every draw of five numbers from 1 to 58. Browse every draw by year.
