Understanding Hot & Cold Numbers in Oz Lotto

Hot and cold number analysis is one of the most popular approaches to lottery strategy. In Oz Lotto, hot numbers are those that have been drawn frequently in recent draws, while cold numbers are those that appear less often over the same period. Our analysis examines 1,658 historical drawsto identify these patterns and trends.

While every Oz Lotto draw is completely random and independent, many players find value in understanding frequency patterns. Some prefer hot numbers, believing that frequently drawn numbers are "on a streak," while others favor cold numbers, thinking they're "overdue" for selection. Both approaches are equally valid from a statistical perspective, as past frequency doesn't influence future random draws.

How do you calculate hot and cold numbers?

We analyze the frequency of each number across all Oz Lotto draws in our database.

Our analysis includes thousands of historical draws for statistical accuracy.
