UK Lotto Statistics
UK Lotto statistics for the 6-from-59 game, with Round 1 and Round 2 results shown apart and each pool — main numbers and Bonus Ball — tested against a fair draw.
Latest draw October 10, 2026
UK Lotto Statistics by Draw Round
Some UK Lotto draw dates carry two separate drawings — Round 1 and Round 2. Round 2 was introduced part-way through the historical data, so it is always analyzed on its own instead of being blended into Round 1.
- All Rounds
- 1,161 draws
- Round 1
- 1,125 draws
- Round 2
- 36 draws
Round 2 draws appear in our data starting June 10, 2026. It is not a historical draw type going back to the start of the dataset — every statistic on this page keeps it separate from Round 1 for that reason.

Does the UK Lotto Draw Look Random?
A fair draw does not give every number the same count — it gives counts that wobble around an expected value by a predictable amount. This is that check, for each UK Lotto pool.
UK Lotto specifically: Six of 59 balls are drawn, so each UK Lotto number is expected in about one draw in ten — the highest rate of any six-number game here — and its counts settle faster than SuperEnalotto's. Since June 10, 2026 each draw night has a Round 1 and a Round 2 result; both are genuine draws from the full pool, and this page shows them together and by round.
Over 1,125 draws since January 2, 2016, each of the 59 main numbers should come up about 114.4 times, give or take 10.1. The real counts run from 94 (21) to 132 (42). 58 of the 59 numbers sit within two standard deviations of that expectation — in a random draw about 95% would — and a chi-square test across all of them gives p = 0.94.
The spread between the most- and least-drawn numbers is the size random chance routinely produces. It is not evidence that any number is favoured.
Bonus Ball: 1,125 draws, expected 19.1 per number; p = 0.60. Within normal random variation.
| Pool | Draws | Expected per number | Most drawn | Least drawn | Within 2 SD | Chi-square test |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Main numbers 6 of 59 | 1,125 since Jan 2016 | 114.4 ± 10.1 | 132 (42) | 94 (21) | 58 of 59 | p = 0.94 |
| Bonus Ball 1 of 59 | 1,125 since Jan 2016 | 19.1 ± 4.3 | 28 (38) | 10 (35) | 57 of 59 | p = 0.60 |
A p-value is the chance a perfectly fair draw would look at least this uneven. Anything above about 0.05 is ordinary. How the test works, and the results for all six games →
