In short

4 has come up most often, 9,334 times. Each digit averages about 9,190 over 22,975 draws, and whichever digit happens to lead normally finishes around 140 ahead. 4 is 144 ahead, so this is an ordinary spread rather than a streak. 1 has come up least, 9,083 times.

The statistics behind that

Expected count 9190.0, standard deviation 90.9. The leader sits at 1.58 standard deviations against an expected maximum of 1.54 for 10 numbers; a lead at least this large arises by chance about 70% of the time. Goodness of fit to a uniform draw: chi-square 9.2 on 9 degrees of freedom, p = 0.415. 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 9,190 appearances. The shaded band is the normal range — where 19 of every 20 numbers land. Every number is inside it. The numbers printed on the chart are the highest, the lowest and anything outside the band.

Most and least drawn are 251 apart. For 10 digits over 22,975 draws that gap normally comes out around 280, so this one is about what you would expect.

Frequently asked questions

Do hot and cold numbers predict anything?
No. The gap between the most and least drawn digit here is 251 appearances, which is about what 22,975 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 4 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 4 data go?
Our full history runs back to September 30, 1991 — 22,975 draws. The frequency table on this page uses the 22,975 draws since September 30, 1991, which is every draw of four digits, each from 0 to 9. Browse every draw by year.
