The statistics behind that

Expected count 4883.1, standard deviation 66.3. The leader sits at 1.42 standard deviations against an expected maximum of 1.54 for 10 numbers; a lead at least this large arises by chance about 10% of the time. Goodness of fit to a uniform draw: chi-square 17.3 on 9 degrees of freedom, p = 0.044. How we calculate it.

Frequently asked questions

Do hot and cold numbers predict anything?

No. The gap between the most and least drawn digit here is 263 appearances, which is about what 16,277 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 3 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 digits land when every one is equally likely. With 10 digits on the chart, one sticking out now and then is the usual picture rather than a sign of anything.

How far back does this Pick 3 data go?

Our full history runs back to March 7, 2002 — 16,277 draws. The frequency table on this page uses the 16,277 draws since March 7, 2002, which is every draw of three digits, each from 0 to 9. Browse every draw by year.
