In short

4 has come up most often, 5,415 times. Each digit averages about 5,158 over 17,195 draws, and the front-runner normally finishes around 105 ahead. This table is more spread out than that, which is unusual enough to be worth a second look at the equipment rather than at the numbers.

The statistics behind that

Expected count 5158.5, standard deviation 68.1. The leader sits at 3.76 standard deviations against an expected maximum of 1.54 for 10 numbers; a lead at least this large arises by chance about 0% of the time. Goodness of fit to a uniform draw: chi-square 23.4 on 9 degrees of freedom, p = 0.005. How we calculate it.

Every number at a glance

Shaded by how far above or below its average each number is — red for more often than average, blue for less. Most sit in the middle.

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 5,159 appearances. The shaded band is the normal range — where 19 of every 20 numbers land. 1 of 10 stick out, and about 1 normally do. The numbers printed on the chart are the highest, the lowest and anything outside the band.

Most and least drawn are 348 apart. For 10 digits over 17,195 draws that gap normally comes out around 210, so this one is a little wider than usual.

Frequently asked questions

Do hot and cold numbers predict anything?
No. The gap between the most and least drawn digit here is 348 appearances, which is about what 17,195 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. Tri-State Pick 3 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 digits land when every one is equally likely. With 10 digits on the chart, one sticking out now and then is the usual picture rather than a sign of anything.
How far back does this Tri-State Pick 3 data go?
Our full history runs back to January 1, 2003 — 17,195 draws. The frequency table on this page uses the 17,195 draws since January 1, 2003, which is every draw of three digits, each from 0 to 9. Browse every draw by year.
