Match 4 number frequency, odds and draw history

Match 4 draws 4 numbers from 24. This page counts 6,624 draws under the current rules, from August 3, 2008 to September 21, 2026, sold in Washington.

How often each number has been drawn

Across 6,624 draws each ball should turn up about 1,104 times. Random variation alone spreads that out, and about 19 in 20 balls land between 1,043 and 1,165. Not one of the 24 balls falls outside it.

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 6.0 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.
