How to read these numbers
The counts come straight from PCSO's official results. Over a few dozen draws some numbers always come up more than others — that is what randomness looks like, and the gaps shrink as the number of draws grows (compare the last 50 draws with the full history).
If you like choosing numbers this way, treat it as a fun way to pick, not a strategy. See the latest 6/42 Lotto result, the game guide for the real odds, or try the free Beat the AI game.
Frequently asked questions
What are hot and cold numbers?
Hot numbers are the ones drawn most often in a recent period; cold numbers are the ones drawn least often. They describe the past only.
Do hot numbers have a better chance in the next draw?
No. Every PCSO draw is random and independent, so each number has the same chance every time, however often it came up before.
Where does this data come from?
From the official PCSO results for every 6/42 Lotto draw since January 2, 2016, updated after each draw.
