In short

2 has come up most often, 275 times. Each number averages about 224 over 1,753 draws, and the front-runner normally finishes around 31 ahead. 2 is 51 ahead — a bigger lead than usual, but still the kind chance hands out. 35 sits at the back with 196.

The statistics behind that

Expected count 223.8, standard deviation 14.0. The leader sits at 3.67 standard deviations against an expected maximum of 2.22 for 47 numbers; a lead at least this large arises by chance about 1% of the time. Goodness of fit to a uniform draw: chi-square 67.8 on 46 degrees of freedom, p = 0.020. 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 224 appearances. The shaded band is the normal range — where 19 of every 20 numbers land. 4 of 47 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 79 apart. For 47 numbers over 1,753 draws that gap normally comes out around 62, 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 number here is 79 appearances, which is about what 1,753 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. Lotto 47 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 47 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 47 data go?
Our full history runs back to January 2, 2010 — 1,753 draws. The frequency table on this page uses the 1,753 draws since January 2, 2010, which is every draw of six numbers from 1 to 47. Browse every draw by year.
