Texas Daily 4 Hot and Cold Numbers (October 2026)
The most drawn Daily 4 numbers are 6 (8,120), 8 (8,111), and 9 (8,090); the least drawn are 2 (7,920), 3 (7,973), and 5 (8,001). That is over 20,088 draws since October 1, 2007, when the game last changed its set of balls, against an average of 8035 apiece.
In short
6 has come up most often, 8,120 times. Each number averages about 8035 over 20,088 draws, and whichever number happens to lead normally finishes around 131 ahead. 6 is 85 ahead, so this is an ordinary spread rather than a streak. 2 has come up least, 7,920 times.
The statistics behind that
Expected count 8035.2, standard deviation 85.0. The leader sits at 1.00 standard deviations against an expected maximum of 1.54 for 10 numbers; a lead at least this large arises by chance about 85% of the time. Goodness of fit to a uniform draw: chi-square 5.0 on 9 degrees of freedom, p = 0.836. How we calculate it.

Why the count starts in 2007
Daily 4 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 October 1, 2007, when this game settled on 4 numbers from 10.
Frequently asked questions
- Do hot and cold numbers predict anything?
- No. The gap between the most and least drawn number here is 200 appearances, which is about what 20,088 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 Daily 4 data go?
- Our full history runs to October 1, 2007 — 20,088 draws. The frequency table on this page uses the 20,088 draws since October 1, 2007, because that is when this pool last changed size. Browse every draw by year.
