What people tend to choose on their tickets.

Estimated player-selection behaviour

Popularity comes from people, not from the machine. Many players choose birthdays, patterns and sequences, so some valid lines are shared by far more tickets than others. Wisenum estimates this from official winner counts, never from ticket sales it cannot see.

What official winner counts show

Over the last 200 draws (since Jun 25, 2025), when the numbers drawn were among those Wisenum rates as the most played, there were on average 26% more winners for the same number of players than when they were among the least played.
