Lotto Max hot and cold wheel, tested on every draw

Every draw, take the 5 numbers drawn most often in the previous 10 draws and the 5 drawn least often — 10 numbers — and buy the 9-line wheel that guarantees 3rd prize if all 7 winning numbers are among them. Played against every Lotto Max draw from #11 to #1279 (2026-10-16), that is 1,269 draws and 11,421 lines bought.

times all 7 winning numbers were inside the 10

The guarantee never came into play. In all 1,269 draws, the 7 winning numbers were never once all inside the 10 that this rule picked — so the 3rd prize guarantee, which only applies when they are, was never owed. Everything won below was won without it.

A number shown faded was not drawn that time. "In the draw" counts how many of the draw's own 7 numbers were inside the 10 picked — the guarantee only applies at 7 of 7. Prize tiers are worked out from the numbers; this page does not show prize money, because the operator's per-draw amounts are not held on this site.

The same 10 numbers for draw #1280 — the one being drawn next

Every row above is a draw that has already happened. The same rule applied to the 10 most recent draws gives 10 numbers for the draw that has not been made yet, and the 9 lines that go with them.
