Hit interval analysis of Lotto 6/49 across 20 draws: the most overdue number is 36 — 17 draws without a hit against a typical interval of 0; in total 15 numbers are overdue (depth above their median). Data includes draw #4460 from 17.10.2026.
The steadiest number is 7: it returns every 12 draws on average with a spread of ±0. The smaller the spread, the more regular the rhythm.
A hit interval is the number of draws between two appearances of the same number. For every Lotto 6/49 number the table shows its depth (how many draws it has been absent), mean and median interval, minimum, maximum and spread.

How do I analyse Lotto 6/49 number hits?
The table on this page already does it across the last 20 draws: sort by depth to see the longest-absent numbers, by median to find the most rhythmic ones, by spread to find the most predictable. The analysis period can be changed in the block above the table. How many times each number was drawn overall is on the frequency page.
Which Lotto 6/49 numbers are overdue?
The numbers furthest behind their own rhythm right now: 6 (13), 34 (12), 14 (11) — the number in brackets is the depth, i.e. how many draws the number has been absent. The trend chart shows every gap draw by draw. Don't confuse overdue with cold numbers: cold numbers are rarely drawn overall, overdue ones are simply late.
What is a number's hit interval?
It is the typical gap between two appearances of a number. For example, a median of 12 for number 7 means half of its returns happened faster than that. The full distribution — how often a number came back after 0, 1, 2… draws — is in the repeat hits matrix.
What does “depth” mean and what are overdue numbers?
Depth is how many draws a number has been absent: 0 — it hit the latest draw, 5 — it missed five in a row. A number is called overdue when its depth clearly exceeds its median interval — it is “late” by its own usual rhythm. The Karnauh method computes a strict overdue formula.
Can hit intervals predict the next Lotto 6/49 draw?
Not with any guarantee: draws are independent, and an overdue number can stay away much longer. Intervals are a way to narrow your pick consciously instead of guessing: mark numbers with a suitable rhythm in the table and the generator will build combinations from them. The real odds of every prize tier are on the odds page.
