Lotto 47 number frequency, odds and draw history

Lotto 47 draws 6 numbers from 47. This page counts 2,241 draws under the current rules, from May 18, 2005 to November 7, 2026, sold in Michigan.

How often each number has been drawn

Across 2,241 draws each ball should turn up about 286 times. Random variation alone spreads that out, and about 19 in 20 balls land between 254 and 318. 2 of the 47 balls fall outside it and chance alone would put about 2 there, so this is an ordinary result. 45 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.

Ranked by how often each number has been drawn. Ranking is not a signal, it is what any fair draw looks like when you sort it.
