Most Common Lotto Max Numbers — Full Frequency Analysis & Odds
Lotto Max draws 7 main numbers plus a Bonus Ball, all from the same pool, every Tuesday and Friday. The number pool expanded from 1–50 to 1–52 in April 2026, alongside a higher jackpot cap — this guide reflects the current format.
Lotto Max main ball frequency
Across our full draw history, the five most frequently drawn main balls have been 7, 46, 36, and a tie between 31 and 22, while 51 and 52 have appeared least often by a wide margin — unsurprising, since both numbers only became possible to draw after the pool expanded from 50 to 52 balls in April 2026. Excluding those two brand-new numbers, 20, 23 and 42 round out the coldest balls over the full dataset.
Because 51 and 52 have such a short history compared to 1–50, treat their frequency counts as provisional for now — they'll converge toward the pack over the coming months of draws. Visit our live Lotto Max statistics page for current exact counts.
Lotto Max sum range
For 7 balls from 1–52, the mathematical range runs from 28 up to 343. In practice, the middle 70% of real draws fall between roughly 143 and 217, averaging around 179.
The April 2026 format change, MaxMillions, and current odds
In April 2026, Lotto Max expanded its main pool from 1–50 to 1–52 and raised its jackpot cap from $80 million to $90 million. The minimum jackpot after a win is $10 million. The odds of matching all 7 numbers on a single line are 1 in C(52,7) = 1 in 133,784,560.
MaxMillions is Lotto Max's mechanism for keeping prize money moving once the jackpot itself hits its cap: additional $1 million prizes are drawn using the same 7/52 format, separately from the main jackpot draw, once the jackpot reaches $50 million or more. At the $90 million cap, as many as 90 individual MaxMillions prizes can be drawn in a single night.
