How is the average gap calculated?

As the average of the gaps between two consecutive hits of the same number in the chosen period.

Cash Five number frequency: numbers and Bonus with gaps, streaks and rating

For each number: times drawn, maximum / average / current gap, streaks (consecutive appearances), rating of the current gap and last draw – separately for the numbers (1–35) and Bonus (1–1). Sort order, direction and period of your choice. Purely retrospective, with no predictive value. Click a header to sort the column (click again to reverse). Average gap = (draws − appearances) / appearances; streak = appearances in consecutive draws; current / average above 2 is shown in red.

What frequency tells you, and what it doesn't

The table counts how often each number from 1 to 35 was drawn in the selected draws, plus the current gap since its last hit and the longest gap ever. With 5 numbers drawn from 35, every number has a 5/35 chance per draw; over many draws all numbers approach that average, with random fluctuation around it. A number 20% above average after 1,000 draws is nothing special, it is exactly the spread that chance produces.

The table is still useful: it shows which numbers have been missing lately, how the distribution shifts between periods and whether the bonus numbers fall evenly. The period filter lets you check whether a “hot” number was also hot in the last 50 draws; usually it was not.

The past does not predict the future

The balls have no memory. A number that has been absent for a long time is not more likely next time, and a frequent number is not less likely. Our randomness test checks this every week with a χ² test over all numbers: the deviations stay within what chance produces. If you still want to play by frequency, the generator does it for you; the chance of winning stays the same as with a quick pick.

How it works

For each number the page shows hits, longest, average and current gap (in draws), streaks and the last draw. Columns are sortable and the period is selectable.

Example

A number with a current gap of 20 and an average gap of 10 has a rating of 2.0 – it has stayed out twice as long as usual.

Limitations

A long absence does not make a number "due". Long gaps are normal for many numbers over many years.
