Lotto NZ Statistics: Number Frequency & History
Based on 801 Lotto draws recorded since 22 December 2018, up to 22 August 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.
Hot and Cold Lotto Numbers
The 10 most and least frequently drawn main numbers (bonus ball included) across the full history above.
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.
