This chart shows the frequency of numbers being drawn over a period of time. Hot Numbers are frequently drawn recently and Cold Numbers have not been drawn as often.
Heat Maps
The chart below visually represents the frequency with which each number has been drawn over a specific period. In this heat map, colors indicate how often each number appears, with deep red representing the most frequently drawn numbers and dark blue indicating the least frequent. Warmer colors show moderately high frequencies, while cooler tones represent less common numbers. This color-coded system allows viewers to quickly identify "hot" numbers—those that appear more often—and "cold" numbers—those that are rarely drawn—making it a useful tool for analyzing patterns or trends in lottery results.

Hot and Cold Numbers
"Hot" and "Cold" numbers refer to how often certain numbers are drawn over time. Hot numbers are those that appear most frequently in recent draws and are often highlighted in dark red on a heat map. These numbers are believed by some players to have a higher chance of appearing again due to their repeated occurrences. On the other hand, cold numbers are those that have been drawn the least often and are shown in dark blue on the heat map. Moreover, the "consecutive draw" column typically refers to how many consecutive draws (lotto results) a specific number has appeared in. It's a measure of how "hot" or persistent a number is over recent draws.

Format Changes in Australia's Set For Life Lottery
Since its inception in August 2015, Australia's Set for Life lottery has undergone significant changes to enhance gameplay and increase winning opportunities.
| Period | Format | Supplementary Nos. |
|---|---|---|
| August 2015 - March 22, 2020 | 8 numbers from a pool of 37 (8/37) | 2 numbers from the same pool. |
| March 23, 2020 - Present | 7 numbers from a pool of 44 (7/44) | 2 number from the same pool |
Since its launch in August 2015, the Australian Set for Life lottery has undergone notable changes aimed at improving gameplay and enhancing player experience. Initially, players were required to select 8 numbers from a pool of 1 to 37. Each draw produced 8 winning numbers and 2 supplementary numbers.
On March 23, 2020, significant revisions were introduced. The format changed to selecting 7 numbers from a larger pool of 1 to 44, and each draw now produces 7 winning numbers and 2 supplementary numbers. The number of prize divisions expanded to eight, with players now able to win a prize by matching as few as 3 main numbers and 1 supplementary number. These changes also improved the overall odds of winning a prize, shifting from 1 in 59 to 1 in 50. Overall, the modifications were designed to create more frequent and appealing prize opportunities for participants.
How Australia's Set for Life Lotto Format Changes Affect Your Number Strategy.
These format changes have a direct impact on statistical analysis. Mixing frequency data across different formats is not advisable because each version of the game has a different number pool and probability structure.
For example, a number that appeared less frequently in the 8/37 format may have done so due to lower individual draw probability, but that same frequency can be misleading in the 7/44 formats.
Therefore, for meaningful analysis, it’s essential to treat each format as its own distinct dataset. Analyzing trends or frequencies should be restricted to results from within the same format period, especially if the goal is to inform number selection in the current game structure.
