Why the count starts in 2006

Lotto Texas has changed how many balls it draws, and from how many, 4 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 April 26, 2006, when this game settled on 6 numbers from 54.

• 6/50 from November 14, 1992 to July 15, 2000 — 801 draws (not counted above)
• 6/54 from July 19, 2000 to April 30, 2003 — 291 draws (not counted above)
• 5/44 from May 3, 2003 to April 22, 2006 — 311 draws (not counted above)

Frequently asked questions

Do hot and cold numbers predict anything?

No. The gap between the most and least drawn number here is 74 appearances, which is about what 2,401 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 54 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 Lotto Texas data go?

Our full history runs to November 14, 1992 — 3,804 draws. The frequency table on this page uses the 2,401 draws since April 26, 2006, because that is when this pool last changed size. Browse every draw by year.
