Mean, Standard Deviation (STDEV), and Range Trend

The chart below presents the statistical trends of Lotto lotto combinations from May. 31, 2025 to Nov. 20, 2025 , covering 75 draws by tracking the mean, standard deviation, and range.

The Mean line indicates the average drawn number per draw, the Standard Deviation (STDEV) line shows how widely spread the numbers in each draw are from their respective mean, and the Range line, calculated as the difference between the highest and lowest number in each draw, shows the gap between the highest and lowest numbers drawn.

Together, these statistics and their trends offer a clearer picture of the variability inherent in lotto draws, though they do not imply predictability, as true lottery systems are designed to be random. It helps to observe whether the statistical properties of the drawn numbers exhibit any pattern, volatility, or clustering over time.

Format Changes in Illinois Lotto

The Illinois Lotto has undergone several format changes below since its launch to enhance gameplay:

Period Format Extra Shot

September 2021 6/50 1/25

How Illinois Lotto Format Changes Affect Your Number Strategy.

The 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 frequently in the 6/50 format may have done so due to higher individual draw probability, but that same frequency can be misleading in the 6/52 and 6/54 format.

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.
