Texas Cash Five Hot and Cold Numbers (October 2026)

The most drawn Cash Five numbers are 30 (387), 10 (383), and 34 (382); the least drawn are 27 (314), 2 (331), and 33 (333). That is over 2,516 draws since September 21, 2018, when the game last changed its set of balls, against an average of 359 apiece.

In short

30 has come up most often, 387 times. Each number averages about 359 over 2,516 draws, and whichever number happens to lead normally finishes around 37 ahead. 30 is 28 ahead, so this is an ordinary spread rather than a streak. 27 has come up least, 314 times.

The statistics behind that

Expected count 359.4, standard deviation 17.6. The leader sits at 1.57 standard deviations against an expected maximum of 2.11 for 35 numbers; a lead at least this large arises by chance about 29% of the time. Goodness of fit to a uniform draw: chi-square 31.4 on 34 degrees of freedom, p = 0.594. 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 359 draws. The shaded band is the normal range — where 19 of every 20 numbers land. 1 of 35 stick out, and about 2 normally do. The numbers printed on the chart are the highest, the lowest and anything outside the band.

Most and least drawn are 73 apart. For 35 numbers over 2,516 draws that gap normally comes out around 74, so this one is about what you would expect.

Why the count starts in 2018

Cash Five has changed how many balls it draws, and from how many, 3 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 September 21, 2018, when this game settled on 5 numbers from 35.

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 73 appearances, which is about what 2,516 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 35 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 Cash Five data go?
Our full history runs to October 13, 1995 — 8,873 draws. The frequency table on this page uses the 2,516 draws since September 21, 2018, because that is when this pool last changed size. Browse every draw by year.
