In short

2 has come up most often, 1,161 times. Each number averages about 1,109 over 6,655 draws, and whichever number happens to lead normally finishes around 59 ahead. 2 is 52 ahead, so this is an ordinary spread rather than a streak. 6 has come up least, 1,068 times.

The statistics behind that

Expected count 1109.2, standard deviation 30.4. The leader sits at 1.70 standard deviations against an expected maximum of 1.95 for 24 numbers; a lead at least this large arises by chance about 89% of the time. Goodness of fit to a uniform draw: chi-square 12.5 on 23 degrees of freedom, p = 0.962. How we calculate it.

How far each number is above or below its average of 1,109 appearances. The shaded band is the normal range — where 19 of every 20 numbers land. Every number is inside it. The numbers printed on the chart are the highest, the lowest and anything outside the band.

Most and least drawn are 93 apart. For 24 numbers over 6,655 draws that gap normally comes out around 118, so this one is about what you would expect.

Frequently asked questions

Do hot and cold numbers predict anything?
No. The gap between the most and least drawn number here is 93 appearances, which is about what 6,655 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. Match 4 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 24 numbers on the chart, one sticking out now and then is the usual picture rather than a sign of anything.
How far back does this Match 4 data go?
Our full history runs back to August 3, 2008 — 6,655 draws. The frequency table on this page uses the 6,655 draws since August 3, 2008, which is every draw of four numbers from 1 to 24. Browse every draw by year.
