Lottery Diary: Hatoslottó

The full history of the Hungarian hatoslottó (6 of 45) from 1988 to the latest draw: frequency, gaps and patterns, purely as a statistical curiosity. There are two draws a week (Thursday and Sunday).

The next draw is today (October 8, 2026, Thursday).

Excessive gambling is harmful and can be addictive. Only people over 18 may take part in gambling.

The bar is the current gap, the vertical line is the number's longest gap so far, the dashed line is the average gap (6.5 draws). (now · record, draws)

A long gap does not mean better odds: on every draw every number has exactly a 6/45 chance, regardless of how long since it was drawn. The list only describes the past.

Odds & math

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

MatchesCombinationsOdds
6 / 611 : 8 145 060
5 / 62341 : 34 808
4 / 611,1151 : 732,8
3 / 6182,7801 : 44,6
2 / 61,233,7651 : 6,6
1 / 63,454,5421 : 2,4
0 / 63,262,6231 : 2,5

There are 8,145,060 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 45 numbers gives χ² = 34.13 (44 degrees of freedom, p ≈ 0.858): if the lottery weren't truly random, the gap between the most and least frequent number would have to be much larger. Our 1,851 draws fall exactly into the range a perfectly fair draw would statistically produce, in other words no number significantly "likes" or "avoids" coming up.

If you filled in one ticket for every draw (two a week) for many years…

Drag the slider: how many years would you play two tickets a week, one for each draw? 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

30 years means 3,120 tickets in total.

Random six generator
Every six is drawn uniformly at random, regardless of past frequency, because the past does not influence a draw. The generator only shows what a pure random sample looks like.

The same odds apply to every single combination: roughly a 40% chance of 0 and a 42% chance of 1 match. That’s the mathematics of the lottery (see the “Odds & math” table).

Frequently asked questions

Exactly the same as any other: every number has a 6/45 (about 13.3%) 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 6/45 on every draw, whether it was drawn yesterday or forty weeks ago. This page shows gaps only as description.

No, every six has exactly the same chance: 1 in 8,145,060. 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.
