Cash 5 number frequency, odds and draw history

Cash 5 draws 5 numbers from 43. This page counts 6,854 draws under the current rules, from February 5, 2008 to November 10, 2026, sold in Pennsylvania.

How often each number has been drawn

Across 6,854 draws each ball should turn up about 797 times. Random variation alone spreads that out, and about 19 in 20 balls land between 744 and 850. 2 of the 43 balls fall outside it and chance alone would put about 2 there, so this is an ordinary result. 41 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 8.6 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.

The rules have changed 1 time

Every boundary below was derived from the published draws themselves, by walking them in order and taking the first date no earlier matrix can account for, then checked against the announced change dates. A boundary can only ever be late, never early, which keeps every draw inside the era it is filed under.

This is why the counts above are scoped to the current rules. An all-time count for Cash 5 would mix in draws from a different drum, where balls added later never had a chance to appear, and those balls would read as permanently cold for a reason that has nothing to do with luck.

In effect	Main pool	Bonus pool
