Which digit has landed most in each position across 2,959 published California Daily 3 draws — plus the latest afternoon & evening results, the digit-sum spread, and an honest note on what the record does and doesn't mean.
Based on 2,959 published California Daily 3 draws · updated regularly
California Daily 3 draws three digits (0–9) in order, twice a day — an afternoon (midday) draw and an evening draw. Because the digits are drawn in sequence, a straight result is order-sensitive (614 is not the same as 146), so the most honest way to read "hot numbers" is per position: which digit has landed most often in the 1st spot, the 2nd, and the 3rd. Over 2,959 published draws, the leaders have been 0 in the 1st digit, 3 in the 2nd digit, 1 in the 3rd digit.
As with any fair random draw at scale, the gaps are small — every digit lands in every position close to the even-odds rate of one time in ten. The tables below report what the record shows; they do not predict the next draw.
The most recent published afternoon and evening draws — straight (drawn order), the box form (same digits sorted low–high), and the digit sum. The latest afternoon draw was 4·5·9 on 2026-10-18. The latest evening draw was 2·1·6 on 2026-10-18.

How often each digit 0–9 has landed in each of the three drawn positions, across all 2,959 published draws. In a fair draw each digit fills each spot about 296 times (one in ten). Deviations from that are the ordinary wobble of randomness — not a schedule.

Adding the three digits gives a sum from 0 to 27; the middle sums are the most common simply because more digit combinations produce them (the most frequent on record is 14). By result type, 73% of draws had three different digits (a "single"), 26% had a pair (a "double"), and 1.2% were all three the same (a "triple") — the ordinary shape of a random three-digit draw.
Yes. GoldenSpot is a free, independent analytics engine for California Daily 3 — it tracks the full published draw record (2,959 draws) and shows digit frequency by position, the digit-sum spread, afternoon vs. evening splits, and lets you evaluate your own numbers against the record. It is a descriptive data study, not a predictor — Daily 3 draws are random and independent, and no tool can forecast them.
Across 2,959 published draws studied here, the digit that has appeared most in each position is 0 in the 1st digit, 3 in the 2nd digit, 1 in the 3rd digit. Because each position is drawn independently, a straight result is order-sensitive — so GoldenSpot ranks the digits 0-9 separately for the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd spot. This describes the record; it does not predict the next draw.
Twice a day — an afternoon (midday) draw and an evening draw, every day. Each draw picks three digits 0-9 in order. GoldenSpot keeps the published record for both draws and lets you filter the frequency by afternoon or evening.
Not in any usable way. Over 2,959 draws every digit lands in each position close to the even-odds rate of one time in ten. The small leads and lags are the ordinary scatter of a fair random draw, not a pattern — each draw is independent, so no digit is 'due.'
GoldenSpot turns every published California Daily 3 draw into interactive position, digit, and sum analytics — afternoon and evening, free to explore.
