What to play, and why

One line of 15 numbers, drawn from 1 to 25. Every bullet below is either a number this project measured or the rule that chose the numbers.

• No number in this game is favoured. Over the last 1,000 draws the counts match a fair draw — a chi-square over 24 degrees of freedom gives p = 0.984, and the furthest number sits 1.6 standard deviations out, which is what chance does when 25 numbers are watched at once.
• And last night is not in tonight. Asking whether a number that just came up is likelier to repeat gives z = -0.04 — nothing.
• This game's whole pool sits inside the date range — it runs from 1 to 25, so there is no above-31 side of it to move to. What the line can do here is spread: 4 pairs of them are consecutive, which no line in this game can avoid: 15 numbers from a pool of 25 always touch, because the most that pool can hold with none touching is 12, and it covers the whole pool rather than bunching in one part of it.
• What that is worth. It does not make a match more likely. It makes a match split with fewer people, which is the only thing a choice can change. Where a prize is fixed rather than shared, the numbers change nothing at all, and the only lever left is how many lines you buy.
• Measured against arbitrary lines. On the project's own crowding markers — month numbers, day-of-month numbers, touching pairs, a ticket inside the date range, an equal step, one part of the pool carrying more than its share — this line scores 61, where 300 arbitrary lines of the same size average 75. Lower is more distinctive.

A draw with no memory cannot be predicted. This is a choice about sharing, not a forecast, and the page says so because the measurement says so.

What is held

What its numbers say

Measured over the most recent 1,000 draws — 15 April 2023 to 24 September 2026 — against a pool of 25, with 15 numbers a draw.

Read it the way it should be read. 3,788 draws are held for this game and the test above was run on the most recent 1,000 of them, because these games change their pools and a count across a change is a count of two different games. Nothing here is a favourite: the number furthest from its expected count sits 1.6 standard deviations out, which is what chance produces when 25 numbers are watched at once. And knowing last night's draw tells you nothing about tonight's — that is the whole finding, and it is the same finding every game gives.

Disclaimer

This site is a model and its own backtest. It is not advice and it is not a promise. The backtest on the worked example says the model cannot predict a draw, so nothing here improves the chance of matching one: every set of numbers has the same chance as every other set, and the only thing a choice changes is how many people share the prize.

Every lottery named on this site is a losing proposition by design. A ticket always costs more than the prizes it can win, in every game, on purpose — that is how the money for the prizes is raised. Lotto Max returns about $0.50 of every dollar staked and Encore about $0.51, and the same shape holds for the others. Play only with money you would not miss, never to recover a loss, and never on credit. You must be of legal age where you live — 18 or older in Ontario — and in a jurisdiction that allows you to play. If it stops being fun, ConnexOntario can help — call 1-866-531-2600.

No responsibility is accepted for any loss, in any game. The operator of this page is not responsible for a losing ticket, for a missed draw, for a misread selection slip, for a number copied from this page wrongly, or for anything done or not done because of it. The lines here are worked examples of a choice, nothing more. Check your numbers at the counter before you pay, and keep the printed ticket — it is the only record of what you are playing, and the slip is not.

Privacy

Nothing is asked of you and nothing is stored about you. There is no account, no form, no comment box and no upload. The page does not read your clipboard and does not know which numbers you play.

Analytics is off until you say otherwise. The Google Analytics tag is not in this page. The consent script adds it only after you press Accept, so a visit that declines makes no request to Google and receives no cookie. Your answer is kept in this browser's local storage rather than in a cookie, and declining is remembered — the bar does not return to ask again.

Error reports. If the page throws an error, a short report is sent through a small relay on this domain so the fault can be fixed. It carries the message, the file, the line, the stack, the page path without its query string, and the browser's own user agent. It carries no cookie, no identifier, no session replay and no record of a person — and if your browser asks not to be tracked, it sends nothing at all.

No third-party code runs here. The styles, the script and the icons are all served from this domain. The only outside request this page can make is the Google Analytics tag, and only after you accept it.

What this page is not. It is not gambling advice and it is not a prediction service. It cannot tell you what will be drawn — it says so above, in numbers. A lottery ticket is a bad bet and this page will not pretend otherwise. If gambling stops being fun, the Ontario problem-gambling helpline is 1-866-531-2600, free and open at any hour.
