New York Lotto number frequency, odds and draw history

New York Lotto draws 6 numbers from 59. This page counts 2,611 draws under the current rules, from September 12, 2001 to September 19, 2026, sold in New York.

How often each number has been drawn

Across 2,611 draws each ball should turn up about 266 times. Random variation alone spreads that out, and about 19 in 20 balls land between 235 and 296. 4 of the 59 balls fall outside it and chance alone would put about 3 there, so this is an ordinary result. 55 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 9.8 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.

Where this comes from

Every draw on this page came from the jurisdiction that ran it, and the matrix was derived from that published history rather than copied from a marketing page. The full archive, 2,611 New York Lotto draws in all, ships inside the app and works with no connection at all.
