Every number's count since October 16, 2023 →

In short

32 has come up most often, 151 times. Each number averages about 123 over 1,103 draws, and whichever number happens to lead normally finishes around 23 ahead. 32 is 28 ahead, so this is an ordinary spread rather than a streak. 14 has come up least, 93 times.

The statistics behind that

Expected count 122.6, standard deviation 10.4. The leader sits at 2.73 standard deviations against an expected maximum of 2.21 for 45 numbers; a lead at least this large arises by chance about 19% of the time. Goodness of fit to a uniform draw: chi-square 57.0 on 44 degrees of freedom, p = 0.091. 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 123 appearances. The shaded band is the normal range — where 19 of every 20 numbers land. 5 of 45 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 58 apart. For 45 numbers over 1,103 draws that gap normally comes out around 46, so this one is a little wider than usual.

Why the count starts in 2023

Cash 5 has changed how many balls it draws, or from how many, once in the draws we hold. 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 16, 2023, when this game settled on five numbers from 1 to 45.

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 58 appearances, which is about what 1,103 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. Cash 5 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 numbers land when every one is equally likely. With 45 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 5 data go?
Our full history runs back to October 26, 2020 — 2,188 draws. The frequency table on this page uses the 1,103 draws since October 16, 2023, because that is when the game last changed to drawing five numbers from 1 to 45. Browse every draw by year.
