Playing the lotto is a gamble.

But despite their seemingly random results, you might wonder if there are any lucky numbers that win more often than others. With this in mind, we went off and scraped 10 years worth of Powerball lottery results (US) and Lotto Max results (Canada) to see how these two lotto giants compare to each other.

How we found the luckiest lotto numbers to play

For this project, we used ParseHub, a free and powerful web scraper that can extract data from any website. We used it to pull the winning numbers from 2011 to 2020 from both the Powerball and Lotto Max. We then analyzed the data we scraped to come up with the luckiest numbers for each lotto / country.

When playing Powerball, any number from 1 to 69 can come up as one of the winning 5 numbers for each draw (white balls). While a 6th number is pulled from a pool of red balls from 1 to 26. While we scraped 10 years of Powerball results, the Powerball actually changed the format of their game in October of 2015, with more numbers being added to the pool. As a result, we based our analysis on the past 5 years of results. After scraping Powerball results for the last 5 years, the luckiest white ball Powerball numbers were:

In comparison, the 10 least common (or unluckiest) numbers were drawn an average of 30 times. That means these numbers are almost twice as likely to be drawn as their unlucky counterparts (1.66 times as likely to be more precise).

Meaning that using this historical data to pick your next series of numbers is as effective as just choosing them at random. However, it is fun and interesting to look at all the numbers in hindsight and see what the “luckiest” numbers have been over the years.

In this case, that’s 23 in the US and 39 in Canada.
