Hot and cold numbers: what they show and what they don't

What the words mean

• Hot numbers came up most often in a period, for example the last 30 days.
• Cold numbers came up least often in that period.
• Gap is the number of draws since a number last came up.

How often should a number come up?

Each number has a 6 in 49 chance (about 12%) of being one of the main numbers in a draw. Over 30 draws, that is about 3.7 times on average. Some numbers will come up more often and some less, just by chance.

What they don't tell you

The balls have no memory. A number that has come up often is not more likely next time, and a number with a long gap is not "due". Statistics describe the past; they cannot predict the next draw. Use them for interest, not as a reason to stake more. Play responsibly
