Which Lotto 6/49 numbers come up most often?

Are Lotto 6/49 numbers ever "due"?

No. Measured over 438 number-to-next-draw pairs of real Lotto 6/49 history, a number that appeared in one draw appeared again in the next one 14.6% of the time, against 12.2% for any number at all. Those figures match, which is what it looks like when a draw has no memory of previous results.

Is the Lotto 6/49 draw fair?

On the last 74 draws the spread of numbers scores 42 on a chi-square test against a 65.2 threshold at 95% confidence. It is consistent with an even draw.

Consistent with a fair draw

Chi-square 42 against a 65.2 threshold at 95% confidence, over 49 numbers. The spread sits well inside what an even draw produces. One fair draw in twenty crosses that line by chance, so a single reading either way is a prompt to keep watching rather than a finding.

Is a number ever “due”?

14.6%of numbers came up again in the very next draw

12.2%is how often any number comes up at all

Measured across 438 number-to-next-draw pairs in this lottery’s own history. Those two figures being the same is the answer to both “it’s hot” and “it’s due”: the machine has no memory of last week.

Over the last 74 draws, 37 came up 17 times and 31 came up 3. A fair draw would average 9.1 each, and a spread this size is what randomness looks like at this sample size.
The full spread scores 42 on a fairness test that would need to exceed 65.2 before the draw looked biased. It does not. This is evidence the draw is even — not a reason to prefer any number in it.
A number that came up in one draw came up again in the next one 14.6% of the time. Any number at all appears 12.2% of the time. Those two being the same is the answer to "is it hot?" and to "is it due?" — the draw has no memory of what it did last week.

Every draw is independent. Nothing on this page makes any number more or less likely to come up next — it describes what has already happened, and shows that the draw behaves the way a fair one should.
