Lotto 6/42 Number Frequency Statistics
The most frequent Lotto 6/42 numbers over the last 20 draws: 3 (6), 12 (6), 35 (6), 36 (6), 38 (6), 8 (5).
Understanding number frequency allows you to identify 'hot' numbers that appear more often than average, and 'cold' numbers that haven't appeared in draw results for a while.
Number frequency is how many times each number appeared in Lotto 6/42 draws over the selected period. Clicking a number in the table marks it — the generator below builds combinations from the marked numbers.
"Frequency" — how many times the ball was drawn in the selected period.
"Depth" — how many draws have passed since the ball last appeared ("0" means the ball appeared in the most recent draw, "1" means the draw before that, and so on; "-1" means the ball did not appear in the selected period).
"Time" — a composite indicator calculated as: [number of draws in the selected period] / [frequency] + [depth]. The higher the value, the more "overdue" the ball is for appearing.

OpenFrequency questions
What are the most common Lotto 6/42 numbers?
Across the last 20 draws the leaders are: 3 (6), 12 (6), 35 (6), 36 (6), 38 (6), 8 (5) — frequency in brackets. The list is recalculated after every draw and the analysis period can be changed in the block above the table. A curated hot-number set with combination examples lives on its own page.
What do “Depth” and “Time” mean in the table?
Depth is how many draws a number has been absent: 0 — it hit the latest draw. “Time” combines frequency and depth: the higher it is, the further a number lags behind its own rhythm. A detailed rhythm breakdown — median and spread of each number's intervals — is in the hit interval analysis.
Which numbers count as the “winning” ones?
That is what the most frequent numbers are usually called: they landed in winning Lotto 6/42 combinations more often than others. Past frequency doesn't guarantee future hits, but these are the numbers frequency strategies build on. Which full combinations actually hit — see the popular combinations statistics.
How do statistics help win at Lotto 6/42?
They don't change any single ball's probability, but they replace guessing with a system: pick numbers from data, build combinations with the generator below and check them against the archive. Know the real odds of every prize tier before buying a ticket.
What period is the frequency calculated over?
Over the loaded part of the archive — the number of draws and dates are shown above the table, where the period can also be changed. A short window (10–20 draws) gives a lively but noisy picture; a long one is more stable. The available archive depth depends on your plan.
