What is the Most Popular Number in the Numeric Lotto?

Lotto’s code cracked? Here’s the 27-year analysis (Turkey) and most frequent numbers! Is there a formula to win the grand prize in Sayısal Loto, the game that fuels the dreams of millions? Or at least, which are the “lucky” numbers that might increase the chances? An intriguing analysis delved into this question by examining exactly 1863 Sayısal Loto draws from 1996 to the present day. The results are surprising: the most frequently drawn numbers were identified, but playing these numbers retrospectively did not guarantee the grand prize.

A comprehensive analysis (Source 1) reviewed all draw results, starting from Turkey’s first Sayısal Loto draw date in 1996, including the period after 2020 when the game’s rules changed to “Çılgın Sayısal Loto.” Using Microsoft Excel and various statistical functions (Source 2), the numbers drawn most frequently from the sphere were meticulously calculated.

Game Changed, Did the Numbers Change?

One of the most striking points of the analysis was the evolution of Sayısal Loto. Until August 3, 2020, 6 balls were drawn from numbers 1 to 49. After this date, the system changed under the name “Çılgın Sayısal Loto.” In the new system, 6 balls began to be drawn from numbers 1 to 90, and additional numbers called “Joker” and later “Superstar” were also included in the game (Source 3).

So, how did this rule change affect the most frequently drawn numbers?

• Old Era (1996 – August 3, 2020): In this long period when numbers between 1-49 were drawn, the most frequently drawn number was 38. It appeared among the winning numbers exactly 186 times.
• New Era (After August 3, 2020 – Çılgın Sayısal Loto): In this period with numbers between 1-90 and fewer draws conducted so far, the number 89 is at the top. 89 was drawn 49 times in this period.
• All Time (1996 – Present): When all 1863 draws covering both the old and new eras were examined, an interesting tie emerged. The numbers 1 and 18 shared the title of the luckiest numbers of all time, having been drawn 223 times each.

Favorites of Joker and Superstar

The most popular Joker and Superstar numbers, introduced in the new era, were also identified:

• Most Frequent Joker: In the Çılgın Sayısal Loto draws, the number most frequently determined as Joker was 18 (38 times).
• Most Frequent Superstar: In the still relatively new Superstar feature, the number 13 took the top spot, having been drawn 8 times.

Frequency Analysis: Which Number Appeared How Many Times?

The analysis didn’t just find the most popular numbers; it also generated detailed frequency tables and histogram charts showing how many times each number from 1 to 90 was drawn in different periods (old Sayısal Loto, Çılgın Sayısal Loto, and total) (Source 1, Source 2). These charts visualized that the total draw counts for numbers 1-49 are naturally much higher than those for numbers 50-90, which were only included in the new era. For example, while the all-time most popular numbers 1 and 18 appeared 223 times, even the old era’s favorite, number 38, follows closely behind with 222 appearances in total.

Did the Luckiest 6 Bring Winnings?

Perhaps the most anticipated part of the analysis was whether combinations formed by the “most frequent” numbers would have won prizes in the past. The top 6 most frequent numbers for the old era (1-49) and all time (1-90) were determined, and past draws were virtually played with these combinations.

The Result: Disappointment! Neither the most popular 6 numbers of the old era (38, 18, 1, 21, 36, 32 – ranked by frequency) nor the most popular 6 numbers of all time (1, 18, 38, 21, 36, 14 – ranked by frequency) resulted in a ticket matching 6 or 5 numbers in past draws. It was observed that tickets matching 4 numbers occurred only a few times (Source 1).

This situation once again demonstrated that each lottery draw is independent of the previous one, and numbers that appeared frequently in the past have no guarantee of appearing in the future. Playing the most popular numbers, beyond satisfying statistical curiosity, did not guarantee the grand prize.

Conclusion: The Luck Factor Remains Unchanged

This detailed analysis of 27 years of Sayısal Loto draw data, while revealing the most frequent numbers and their frequencies, does not alter the fundamental luck factor inherent in the lottery. Past performance is not a guarantee of future results. Millions will likely continue to try their luck each week with renewed hope.
