Latest drawFriday, 9 October 2026
SourcesOnly Primary (commercial feed) reported this draw, so there is nothing to check it against. Settled 10 Oct 2026, 07:47 UTC.
5 numbers from 1–43. 6,429 draws held here since 2010-04-07 — 3,313 under the current rules.
Cash 5 changed its number pool then, which started a new era. Only the 3,313 draws since count towards number statistics — mixing draws from before a rule change would make any frequency meaningless.

Every tool, for this game
Each one opens with Cash 5 already selected. The line under every title is true of this game’s rules right now — not a promise about its next draw.

In 3,313 draws every number is expected about 385 times, and a ball favoured by more than 20% over its share would already have shown — see which ones strayed, and how far chance allows.

A number waits 9 draws on average; 5% of the time it waits 26 or more. It is never “due”.

The 5 numbers add up to about 110, give or take 26. Most tickets sit in that bell — and so do most draws.

40.2% of draws contain two numbers side by side. That is the rules talking, not luck.

903 possible pairs, each expected together 36.7 times so far — and about 9 will look “special” by chance alone.

All 43 numbers as a constellation of who appeared with whom — indistinguishable from a shuffled sky.

48% of draws repeat a number from the draw before. A whole draw repeating: 99.7% likely by now.

Sorted, the numbers sit about 7.3 apart on average — and every “spread” you can name is exactly as likely as every other.

It takes about 36 draws for every one of the 43 numbers to appear at least once. The last few are the slow ones.

962,598 possible tickets. Every one has a face — and a typicality score you can look up.

Seven independent tests of randomness run live against all 3,313 draws. Any of them can fail; watch whether they do.

The lowest number lands near 7, the highest near 37. Position is a property of sorting, not of the balls.

5/43 rescaled onto the same axes as every other game here. One law, many machines.

Six documented cases of a beaten lottery. Not one involved patterns in past draws.

What the world believes about 7, 8, 13 and 17 — and what every machine says back.

At 30 million tickets, an average line keeps about 3% of a jackpot it wins. Unpopular numbers keep more — and still lose money.

A full wheel of 10 numbers here is 252 tickets. A guarantee is real; a profit is not.

Five folk claims about 5/43 games, each answered with the closed form that kills it — never a tip for the next draw.

This game draws more than once. Each draw is its own record, read on its own: mixing them would put one draw’s numbers above another draw’s prize table.

Lock a past-only rule, score it on later draws, and compare every hit with the exact 5-of-43 overlap law.

This is a without-replacement ball game; the Digit Laboratory is for Pick 3 and Pick 4.
Not for this game
The Chernoff Map reads the straight tier of a digit game, which counts tickets on one exact number; a ball game has no such row.
Not for this game
This game draws once a day, so it has no second draw to compare its first with.

What the site’s explorations say about the numbers drawn on 11 October 2026 — each beside what chance predicted. None of it says anything about the next draw.
Scored 47 of 100 across six shape features — more typical than about 37% of every possible ticket.
Times drawn before — chance expected 61 of each
Every number was expected about that many times after 525 draws, and they scatter around it. Warm means more than expected, cool means fewer — and a cold number arriving is exactly what cold numbers do.
Frequency Explorer →Shares 3 of 5 numbers (23, 26, 35) with the draw of 1 January 2026 — its closest relative in 525 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 98% likelihood somewhere in that history.
From the draw just before (10 October 2026): 12 carried over. Chance says 48% of draws repeat at least one number.
Carry-over / Déjà Vu →The numbers add up to 128 — the 74th percentile of all possible tickets, around a middle of 110. No two numbers side by side. 40% of draws have at least one such pair.
Sum Distribution →23 had not appeared for 63 draws. A number waits about 9 on average, and a wait this long was not a signal — the machine has no memory of it.
Gap & “Overdue” Tracker →A line like this is played about 0.7× as often as an average ticket — less popular than most. At 30 million tickets sold, a winner on these numbers would keep about 5% of the jackpot.
