Every number's count since October 15, 2025 →

The lottery publishes about a year of past draws, so this table starts at October 15, 2025 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 17.1, standard deviation 3.9. The leader sits at 2.01 standard deviations against an expected maximum of 2.22 for 47 numbers; a lead at least this large arises by chance about 61% of the time. Goodness of fit to a uniform draw: chi-square 52.1 on 46 degrees of freedom, p = 0.249. How we calculate it.

Frequently asked questions

Do hot and cold numbers predict anything?

No. The gap between the most and least drawn number here is 17 appearances, which is about what 161 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. Gopher 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 numbers land when every one is equally likely. With 47 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 Gopher 5 data go?

Our full history runs back to October 15, 2025 — 161 draws. The frequency table on this page uses the 161 draws since October 15, 2025, the first the lottery still publishes. Browse every draw by year.
