The statistics behind that

Expected count 70.7, standard deviation 7.8. The leader sits at 1.95 standard deviations against an expected maximum of 2.22 for 46 numbers; a lead at least this large arises by chance about 32% of the time. Goodness of fit to a uniform draw: chi-square 48.0 on 45 degrees of freedom, p = 0.352. How we calculate it.

Why the count starts in 2022

Pick 6 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 April 7, 2022, when this game settled on six numbers from 1 to 46.

• Six numbers from 1 to 49 from January 1, 2010 to April 4, 2022 — 1,279 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 36 appearances, which is about what 542 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. Pick 6 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 46 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 Pick 6 data go?

Our full history runs back to January 4, 2010 — 1,821 draws. The frequency table on this page uses the 542 draws since April 7, 2022, because that is when the game last changed to drawing six numbers from 1 to 46. Browse every draw by year.
