Why the count starts in 2010
Treasure Hunt 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 5 numbers from 30.
Frequently asked questions
- Do hot and cold numbers predict anything?
- No. The gap between the most and least drawn number here is 156 appearances, which is about what 6,106 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 30 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 Treasure Hunt data go?
- Our full history runs to January 1, 2010 — 6,106 draws. The frequency table on this page uses the 6,106 draws since January 1, 2010, because that is when this pool last changed size. Browse every draw by year.
