In short

5 has come up most often, 1,323 times. Each digit averages about 1,238 over 2,476 draws, and the front-runner normally finishes around 51 ahead. 5 is 85 ahead — a bigger lead than usual, but still the kind chance hands out. 2 sits at the back with 1,198.

The statistics behind that

Expected count 1238.0, standard deviation 33.4. The leader sits at 2.55 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 8.8 on 9 degrees of freedom, p = 0.454. 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 1,238 appearances. The shaded band is the normal range — where 19 of every 20 numbers land. 1 of 10 stick out, and about 1 normally do. The numbers printed on the chart are the highest, the lowest and anything outside the band.

Most and least drawn are 125 apart. For 10 digits over 2,476 draws that gap normally comes out around 103, 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 125 appearances, which is about what 2,476 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 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 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 5 data go?
Our full history runs back to June 5, 2023 — 2,476 draws. The frequency table on this page uses the 2,476 draws since June 5, 2023, which is every draw of five digits, each from 0 to 9. Browse every draw by year.
