Heat Maps

The chart below visually represents the frequency with which each number has been drawn from Feb. 24, 2025 to Aug. 16, 2025 , covering 75 draws. In this heat map, colors indicate how often each number appears, with deep red representing the most frequently drawn numbers and dark blue indicating the least frequent. Warmer colors show moderately high frequencies, while cooler tones represent less common numbers. This color-coded system allows viewers to quickly identify "hot" numbers—those that appear more often—and "cold" numbers—those that are rarely drawn—making it a useful tool for analyzing patterns or trends in lottery results.

Hot and Cold Numbers

"Hot" and "Cold" numbers refer to how often certain numbers are drawn over time. Hot numbers are those that appear most frequently in recent draws and are often highlighted in dark red on a heat map. These numbers are believed by some players to have a higher chance of appearing again due to their repeated occurrences. On the other hand, cold numbers are those that have been drawn the least often and are shown in dark blue on the heat map. Moreover, the "consecutive draw" column typically refers to how many consecutive draws (lotto results) a specific number has appeared in. It's a measure of how "hot" or persistent a number is over recent draws.

Format Changes in Illinois Lotto

The Illinois Lotto has undergone several format changes below since its launch to enhance gameplay:

Period Format Extra Shot
February 19, 1983 6/40 None
May 13, 1984 6/44 None
April 15, 1990 6/54 None
October 28, 1998 6/52 None
November 4, 2012 6/52 1/25
September 2021 6/50 1/25

How Illinois Lotto Format Changes Affect Your Number Strategy.

The 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 6/50 format may have done so due to higher individual draw probability, but that same frequency can be misleading in the 6/52 and 6/54 format.

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.
