Why the count starts in 2020

Cash 5 has changed how many balls it draws, or from how many, twice 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 June 29, 2020, when this game settled on five numbers from 1 to 45.

• Five numbers from 1 to 40 from January 1, 2010 to September 13, 2014 — 1,713 draws (not counted above)
• Five numbers from 1 to 43 from September 14, 2014 to June 28, 2020 — 2,109 draws (not counted above)

Frequently asked questions

Do hot and cold numbers predict anything?

No. The gap between the most and least drawn number here is 67 appearances, which is about what 2,301 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 January 1, 2010 — 6,123 draws. The frequency table on this page uses the 2,301 draws since June 29, 2020, because that is when the game last changed to drawing five numbers from 1 to 45. Browse every draw by year.
