Lotto NZ Statistics: Number Frequency & History

Based on 814 Lotto draws recorded since 22 December 2018, up to 7 October 2026. Every table below is historical frequency data - a fun bit of history to browse, not a guide to future results. Past draws have no effect on future ones, since each draw is an independent, random event.

Longest Current Gaps

These main numbers have gone the longest without appearing in a draw. It's a historical fact, not a sign that a number is "due" - each draw is still an independent, random event.

Full Lotto Number Frequency (1-40)

Every main number and the bonus ball, and how many times each has been drawn since 22 December 2018.

Powerball Number Frequency (1-10)

How often each Powerball number has come up, separate from the main Lotto draw.

Biggest Powerball Jackpots in Site History

Lotto's own Division 1 is a fixed $1 million minimum guarantee, so it has no "biggest" to rank - see the note below. It's the Powerball add-on jackpot that actually rolls over and grows, so these are the largest Powerball Division 1 jackpots on offer since 22 December 2018, whether won that draw or rolled over to the next.

Lotto Statistics FAQ

No. Every Lotto draw is an independent, random event - the machine has no memory of past draws. A number's past frequency, however striking, has no bearing on whether it will be drawn next time. This page is a historical record, not a prediction tool.
The figures on this page are recalculated automatically whenever a new Lotto, Powerball, or Strike draw is imported, so they always reflect the latest result.
Lotto's own Division 1 prize is a fixed $1 million minimum guarantee, so it doesn't grow when nobody wins it. It's the separate Powerball add-on jackpot that actually rolls over and grows each time it goes unwon, up to a $50 million cap.
