FutureBall's Most Frequently Drawn Numbers
Some numbers have appeared more often than others in FutureBall's draw history. So far, the ‘hottest’ main number has been 22 which has been drawn the most frequently, appearing a total of 15 times to date.
Of the three supplementary ‘FutureBall’ numbers, it's a tie at the top with both number 1 and number 2 having been drawn 16 times each.
The Least Frequently Drawn Numbers
At the other end of the scale, some numbers have appeared less often in FutureBall's history.
Both 8 and 21 are the ‘coolest’ numbers and share the record for the least frequently drawn main numbers, having appeared just four times each.
For the supplementary ‘FutureBall’ number, 3 has appeared the least frequently, with 14 appearances.
The Most Overdue FutureBall Numbers
One of the most interesting ways to look at draw history is to see which numbers have gone the longest without appearing.
The main number that's been waiting the longest is 34. As of the latest statistics, it has gone 21 draws without being drawn, with its last appearance on 17 July 2026.
For the supplementary ‘FutureBall’ number, 3 is the most overdue. It last appeared on 28 August 2026 and has now gone nine draws without appearing.
Of course, every FutureBall draw is random, and past results don't influence the outcome of future draws. Statistics like these offer an interesting look back at the numbers, rather than a prediction of what's to come.
Odd Versus Even Numbers
If you've ever wondered whether odd or even numbers appear more frequently, the difference is surprisingly small.
Based on FutureBall draw statistics to date, odd numbers have only a slight lead over even numbers.
Odd numbers - 50.36%
Even numbers - 49.64%
It's a very close split indeed with odd numbers leading by just 0.72 percentage points!
Every Draw Tells a New Story
For some FutureBall players, these statistics may provide a little inspiration when choosing their numbers. You might be tempted to choose a frequently drawn number like 22, curious about an overdue number such as 34, or simply prefer a mix of odd and even numbers. There’s no right or wrong way to choose your numbers, and past results don’t affect future draws, but exploring the statistics can be a fun way to make your selections.
If statistics aren’t your thing, remember choosing the ‘Quick Play’ option can take away all the guess work completely, allowing the system to randomly select the numbers on your behalf.
But whichever way you choose the numbers, the only way to be in with a chance of winning is to have a go!
