Everything the published record shows about #21 — how often it lands, how it spaces out, the numbers it's drawn with most, and why past frequency does not predict the next draw.
Based on 2,231 published California Fantasy 5 draws · updated regularly
Across 2,231 published California Fantasy 5 draws, the number #21 has been drawn 295 times. In a fair 5-of-39 game every number is expected to appear about 286 times, so #21 has landed slightly above even — a deviation of just +3.14%. That ranks it 11th of 39: 10 numbers have appeared more often and 28 have appeared less.
On average, #21 has appeared once every 7.5 draws. Its longest recorded gap was 42 draws without appearing — a normal streak for a random draw, and a good illustration of why short-term "hot" and "cold" runs are just ordinary scatter. Right now #21 was last drawn 11 draws ago — longer than its typical 7.5-draw spacing. Some players call that "overdue," but because draws are independent it does not raise the odds of #21 in the next draw.
The numbers that have shared a draw with #21 most often are #8 (47 draws), #27 (41 draws), #29 (40 draws). Every draw of five contains ten pairs, so numbers co-occur constantly by design — a frequent partner is not more likely to return with #21 next time.
None of those change the odds. California Fantasy 5 draws are random and independent — the game has no memory, so #21's past frequency, gaps, and current age have no effect on whether it appears in the next draw. What the history is good for is understanding the game honestly and studying how any set of numbers has actually performed.
#21 has been drawn 295 times across 2,231 published draws — about +3.14% versus the even-odds expectation of 286, ranking 11th of 39.
#21 appears on average every 7.5 draws, with a longest recorded gap of 42 draws. "Overdue" describes the past only — Fantasy 5 draws are independent, so a longer-than-usual gap does not raise the chance of #21 in the next draw.
The same as any number: five of 39 numbers are drawn each game, so #21 has about a 12.8% chance in any single draw, regardless of how recently it appeared.
