Lottery Statistics

The tables below show how often each number has been drawn in the main National Lottery Lotto draw on a Saturday and Wednesday, excluding the Bonus Ball and determine which are the most common lottery winning numbers. You can see the most often picked numbers, the least often picked and those which are most 'overdue'. Beneath each number in the table is the number of days since that ball dropped out of the lottery machine as a winning number.

This lotto data includes all draws up to and including Wednesday 16th May 2012. Chronology is used to distinguish ties.
