US California SuperLotto Plus Mean Distribution - Average Number Patterns in Draws

The Mean is one of the basic statistics often used to study past draws. It shows the average of the numbers drawn which helps in measuring and illustrating how random numbers can cluster around certain mean values over time.

Histogram of Means

In lottery analysis, a histogram of means is used as a statistical tool to illustrate how often different average values of lotto combinations occur across multiple draws. This helps identify whether drawn combinations tend to produce lower, middle, or higher average numbers, giving insight into the overall balance and spread of outcomes.

The chart below is a histogram of mean values of lotto combinations from Feb. 5, 2025 to Oct. 22, 2025 , covering 75 draws. The range of possible means is divided into categories or bins. In this case, the bins are defined as intervals such as 1-6 up to 43-47, each representing a continuous range of mean values.

This division is necessary because individual mean values can vary widely, and grouping them into intervals makes patterns easier to observe. For example, by examining how frequently means fall into each bin, anyone can quickly see whether the draws are evenly distributed, clustered in particular ranges, or biased toward lower or higher averages.

The histogram of mean values reveals notable patterns. The most frequent mean range is 19-24 with 25 occurrences, suggesting this interval is the most common outcome across the draws. On the other hand, the least frequent mean range is 1-6, 37-42, 43-47 with 0 occurrences, indicating relatively rare outcomes in this interval. This suggests a strong concentration of mean values within specific ranges. In summary, the distribution of mean values shows a tendency for draws to cluster around the higher-frequency ranges.

Format Changes in California's SuperLotto

Since its inception in 1986, California SuperLotto has undergone several significant format changes that have impacted the odds of winning the jackpot. Here’s a clear timeline of the California SuperLotto Plus format changes since its inception:

Period	Format	Mega Ball
October 18, 1986	6 numbers out of 49	none.
June 30, 1990	6 numbers out of 53	none.
April 29, 2000	5 numbers out of 47	1 number out of 27

Initially, the game followed a 6/49 format, where players selected six numbers from a pool of 49, offering odds of about 1 in 13.98 million. In 1990, the format was modified to 6/53, making it slightly more difficult to win. The most substantial change occurred in 2000 when the game was rebranded as SuperLotto Plus. The new format required players to choose five numbers from 1 to 47 and a separate Mega number from 1 to 27, shifting to a two-drum system. This overhaul increased the jackpot odds to approximately 1 in 41 million.

How California SuperLotto Plus Format Changes Affect Your Number Strategy.

These format changes have a direct impact on statistical analysis. Mixing frequency data across different formats is not advisable because each version of the game has a different number pool and probability structure.

For example, a number that appeared frequently in the 5/47 format may have done so due to higher individual draw probability, but that same frequency can be misleading in the 6/49 or 6/53 formats.

Therefore, for meaningful analysis, it’s essential to treat each format as its own distinct dataset. Analyzing trends or frequencies should be restricted to results from within the same format period, especially if the goal is to inform number selection in the current game structure.
