A plain-English statistical study of 139,872 published California Hot Spot draws — frequency, hot and cold numbers, and what the record actually shows.
Based on 139,872 published California Hot Spot draws · updated regularly
California Hot Spot (the state's Keno-style game) draws 20 numbers out of 80 every few minutes, all day. Over 139,872 published draws that's more than 2 million individual number appearances — a large enough record to ask a simple question: do some numbers really come up more than others?
The honest answer from the data: barely. Every one of the 80 numbers has landed within about 1.9% of the perfectly-even rate. The most-drawn and least-drawn numbers are separated by only 2.9 percentage points across 139,872 draws. That's exactly what you'd expect from a fair random draw — and it's the most useful thing to understand before reading any "hot" or "cold" list.
| Rank | Number | Times drawn | vs. even | Most drawn |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | #60 | 35,341 | +1.07% | |
| 2 | #59 | 35,306 | +0.97% | |
| 3 | #10 | 35,302 | +0.96% | |
| 4 | #39 | 35,288 | +0.92% | |
| 5 | #8 | 35,270 | +0.86% |
| Rank | Number | Times drawn | vs. even | Least drawn |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | #27 | 34,317 | -1.86% | |
| 2 | #63 | 34,595 | -1.07% | |
| 3 | #24 | 34,631 | -0.96% | |
| 4 | #28 | 34,666 | -0.86% | |
| 5 | #77 | 34,677 | -0.83% |
Every California Hot Spot draw also selects one of its 20 numbers as the Bulls-eye — the number that carries the top prizes on a Bulls-eye ticket. Because only one Bulls-eye is drawn per game, it has its own separate record, and we track it in full: see the Bulls-eye winning numbers page, where all 80 are ranked by how often each has been the Bulls-eye, broken down by day of the month, by weekday, and by time of day. The same honest caveat applies — the Bulls-eye spread is a touch wider than the main numbers only because each number's sample is one-twentieth the size, and no number is "due."
Below are the deep-dive pages for each view of the record. Every one reports what has already happened — GoldenSpot does not predict future draws.
GoldenSpot studies 139,872 published California Hot Spot draws — more than 2 million individual number appearances — and keeps the record current as new results are published every few minutes.
In the published record studied here, #60 has appeared most often (35,341 times, +1.07% above the even-odds rate). Because draws are random and independent, this does not make it more likely to appear next.
Not meaningfully. Across 139,872 draws every number lands within about 1.9% of the perfectly-even rate — exactly what a fair random draw looks like at scale. GoldenSpot reports the historical record; it does not predict future draws.
