2006: The year in numbers

Lotto Texas 2006: all 72 draws from Apr 26, 2006 to Dec 30, 2006 with the winning numbers, by month; click a date for the prize breakdown.

Most drawn numbers that year: 8, 7, 36, 16, 31 – least drawn: 35, 45, 27.

The sum of the winning numbers averaged 162.0 (chance expectation 165.0); the highest sum of the year was 264 on Nov 29, 2006, the lowest 83 on Jul 19, 2006.

52.5% of the drawn numbers were even (expected 50.0%). In 35 draws (49%) two consecutive numbers such as 12 and 13 came up together; chance expects that in 46% of draws.

On average 0.72 number from the previous draw was drawn again (expected 0.67). The longest gap of any number within the year belonged to 35, absent for 44 draws.

Numbers from the range 31–40 came up most often (88 hits), those from 51–54 least often (29). Such deviations are part of chance: they even out over many years, and none of them helps with the next draw.
