The dry combinatorics: how many ways a ticket can come up, and how far reality deviates from perfect randomness

There are 43,949,268 distinct possible tickets in total: that's how many you'd need to choose from to hit the full match. A chi-square test fitted to the frequency of the 90 numbers gives χ² = 109.34 (89 degrees of freedom, p ≈ 0.071): if the lottery weren't truly random, the gap between the most and least frequent number would have to be much larger. Our 3,630 draws fall exactly into the range a perfectly fair draw would statistically produce, in other words no number significantly "likes" or "avoids" coming up.
Drag the slider: how many years would you play one ticket a week? The numbers below are not tips, they are the exact results of the hypergeometric and binomial distributions showing how rare the higher match counts are.
For this many years: 30 years

A playground, not a recommendation: every five comes up with exactly the same chance, 1 in 43,949,268. See what pure randomness looks like, and what that means in practice.
Its chance in any single draw: 1 in 43,949,268, the same as any other five.
Its chance in any single draw: 1 in 43,949,268, the same as any other five.
Its chance in any single draw: 1 in 43,949,268, the same as any other five.
The same odds apply to every single combination: roughly a 75% chance of 0 and a 23% chance of 1 match. That’s the mathematics of the lottery (see the “Odds & math” table).
A summary of every year of the ötöslottó: the list of draws, the most frequent numbers and the sum extremes
Exactly the same as any other: every number has a 5/90 (about 5.6%) chance on every draw. That a number appeared more often over the decades is ordinary random fluctuation, the balls do not remember. A chi-square test shows the frequencies of the 90 numbers are just what a fair draw produces.
No. That is the gambler's fallacy: a long gap does not build up a "debt". A number's chance is still 5/90 on every draw, whether it was drawn yesterday or forty weeks ago. This page shows gaps only as description.
No, every five has exactly the same chance: 1 in 43,949,268. A "pretty" pattern only looks rarer to the eye, mathematically there is no difference. The playground section illustrates this.
No. Statistics describes past draws, future draws are independent of each other. This page is an entertaining and educational curiosity, not a recommendation, and does not encourage playing.
