Bonus Match 5 number frequency, odds and draw history

Bonus Match 5 draws 5 numbers from 39, plus one Bonus Ball from 39. This page counts 9,810 draws under the current rules, from September 17, 1995 to September 21, 2026, sold in Maryland.

How often each number has been drawn

Across 9,810 draws each ball should turn up about 1,258 times. Random variation alone spreads that out, and about 19 in 20 balls land between 1,191 and 1,324. 3 of the 39 balls fall outside it and chance alone would put about 2 there, so this is an ordinary result. 36 balls are indistinguishable from random.

This is the part worth reading twice. A number drawn more often than its neighbours has not become more likely, and the table below is sorted only because people expect it to be. The average wait between appearances for any one ball is 7.8 draws, so a gap several times that long is ordinary rather than overdue.

The Bonus Ball

Drawn from its own machine, one ball per draw out of 39, so it is counted on its own and compared against its own range rather than the one above. Across 9,810 draws each ball should turn up about 252 times. Random variation alone spreads that out, and about 19 in 20 balls land between 220 and 283. Not one of the 39 balls falls outside it.
