In lottery number analysis, the Interquartile Range (IQR) measures the spread of the middle 50% of drawn numbers. It is also used in showing how tightly or loosely the central values cluster, helping reveal typical spacing behavior in lotto results.

Box Plot and Histogram of Draw Interquartile Ranges

Below are the box plot of draw results and the histogram of interquartile range. It covers the winning Set for Life numbers from Sep. 8, 2025 to Nov. 21, 2025 , across 75 draws over time.

Box Plot of Lotto Draw Results

The chart below displays the statistical distribution, spread, or variability of winning Set for Life numbers. The distribution, spread, and variability of winning numbers describe how the numbers are spaced out and how widely they differ from draw to draw. Sometimes they’re close together, sometimes they’re far apart. By examining measures such as quartiles, ranges, and number gaps, we gain insight into the balance and clustering of numbers rather than just their frequency. Quartiles show how numbers divide into lower, middle, and upper sections; the range highlights the gap between the smallest and largest values; and average gaps reveal how closely numbers group together. Studying these metrics is significant because it helps detect patterns of randomness, and spot unusual clustering.

Each box represents the middle 50% of numbers from the first quartile (Q1) to the third quartile (Q3), while the line inside the box marks the median winning number for that period. The “whiskers” extend to the minimum and maximum numbers drawn, and any points outside these whiskers indicate unusually low or high results relative to other draws. By tracking how the quartiles and range shift over time, the chart provides insight into the variability and spread of winning numbers, which can be used to visually assess the randomness and consistency of lotto draws.

Across all draws, the middle 50% of numbers were widely spread, indicating high variability. Overall, higher numbers tended to dominate the draws. Number distribution across ranges was generally balanced.

Histogram of Draw Interquartile Ranges

The histogram of interquartile ranges (IQR) focuses on the spread of the middle 50% of lotto numbers within each combination. By dividing these IQR values into bins, the histogram shows whether draws are typically compact or widely varied in their core distribution. This measure avoids extreme outliers and reveals the consistency of number spacing.

The histogram of interquartile ranges (IQR) of lotto draws reveals that the most frequent IQR interval is 12-17, 18-23 with 23 occurrences, suggesting a strong clustering in this interval. In contrast, the least frequent IQR interval is 0-5, 36-41 with 0 occurrences, showing it is rarely observed. This indicates a noticeable concentration of draws around certain IQR intervals. Overall, the distribution shows clustering around specific IQR intervals, indicating that draws tend to gravitate toward these values.

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.
