What do these numbers show?
  • The average spread across 50 draws was 27.8. The random model has an average of 28.7 — a difference of 0.9. This is a descriptive comparison, not a test result.
  • The median spread in the range is 29: at least half of the 50 draws had a spread no greater than this value (source: history).

These are historical data. Each draw is independent of previous draws, so these numbers do not tell us what will be drawn next.

How do I use this page?
  1. Choose a number of recent draws or a range of years.
  2. Compare the historical average spread with the model average.
  3. Use the interval table to see how often the spread fell within each interval.
  4. The “% model” column shows the share of all possible combinations that have that spread.

What this page does not do: does not suggest numbers to play or predict the spread of the next draw.

Spread of numbers in a draw

Spread is the difference between the largest and smallest of the 5 drawn numbers. In Mini Lotto it can take values from 4 to 41. The random model gives its exact distribution — calculated from all possible combinations, not from a simulation.

Spread histogram for the range

Horizontal axis: spread. Vertical axis: hits, i.e. the number of draws with that spread. Number of draws in the range: 50. The chart shows only values present in the data — missing spreads are not added.

Average spread in the range

27.8

Number of draws: 50. Smallest and largest spread in the range: 1338

Median spread in the range

29

at least half of the draws had a spread no greater than this value (source: history)

Model spread (average of the distribution)

28.7

source: random model, all 5-out-of-42 number combinations equally likely; a dash marks an incomplete distribution

Most frequent spreads in the range

Observed = how many times that spread occurred in draws from the range. % model = the share of combinations with that spread among all possible ones; a dash = model value unavailable.

Spread distribution in ranges

History next to the model, in ranges of five spread values, from 4 to 41. A range with a missing model value has a dash in the model column.

Methodology

The model assumes that every combination of 5 numbers out of 42 is equally likely. A combination with spread d has a fixed smallest and largest number d apart, with the remaining numbers lying between them — so the number of such combinations is (pool − d) · C(d − 1, picks − 2), and the probability of spread d is that product divided by C(pool, picks). History is calculated from raw draw counts in the selected range; a range of years sums the yearly counts. When the model distribution is incomplete, the page shows the history without a comparison and puts a dash — not a zero — in place of the model value. The difference between averages is a description, not a statistical test — the page does not assess its significance. The histogram shows the data rendered when the page loaded; after changing the range, the current figures are in the tables.
