In short

38 has come up most often, 1,227 times. Each number averages about 1,152 over 8,988 draws, and the front-runner normally finishes around 68 ahead. 38 is 75 ahead — a bigger lead than usual, but still the kind chance hands out. 7 sits at the back with 1,058.

The statistics behind that

Expected count 1152.3, standard deviation 31.7. The leader sits at 2.36 standard deviations against an expected maximum of 2.15 for 39 numbers; a lead at least this large arises by chance about 11% of the time. Goodness of fit to a uniform draw: chi-square 52.7 on 38 degrees of freedom, p = 0.057. 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 1,152 appearances. The shaded band is the normal range — where 19 of every 20 numbers land. 4 of 39 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 169 apart. For 39 numbers over 8,988 draws that gap normally comes out around 136, so this one is a little wider than usual.

Bonus numbers

Drawn from the same drum after the main numbers, so it is never one of them, over the 8,988 draws since February 4, 2002 .

34 has come up most often, 255 times. Each number averages about 230 over 8,988 draws, and whichever number happens to lead normally finishes around 32 ahead. 34 is 25 ahead, so this is an ordinary spread rather than a streak. 28 has come up least, 203 times.

The statistics behind that

Expected count 230.5, standard deviation 15.0. The leader sits at 1.64 standard deviations against an expected maximum of 2.15 for 39 numbers; a lead at least this large arises by chance about 93% of the time. Goodness of fit to a uniform draw: chi-square 26.2 on 38 degrees of freedom, p = 0.926.

Frequently asked questions

Do hot and cold numbers predict anything?
No. The gap between the most and least drawn number here is 169 appearances, which is about what 8,988 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. Bonus Match 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 39 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 Bonus Match 5 data go?
Our full history runs back to February 4, 2002 — 8,988 draws. The frequency table on this page uses the 8,988 draws since February 4, 2002, which is every draw of five numbers from 1 to 39. Browse every draw by year.
