Most Common Romanian Joker Numbers — Full Frequency Analysis & Odds
Joker draws 5 numbers from a 1–45 pool plus a Joker number from a separate 1–20 pool, every Thursday and Sunday. Its eight prize categories make it one of the more layered games Loteria Română runs.
Joker main ball and Joker-number frequency
Across our full draw history, the five most frequently drawn main balls (1–45) have been 45, and a tie between 3 and 6, followed by 28 and 5, while 38, 27, and a tie between 41 and 42 have appeared least often. With 45 numbers and 5 drawn per game, each ball's expected share is roughly 11.1% of draws.
The Joker number itself is drawn from a separate 1–20 pool and should be tracked independently from the main balls. Visit our live Joker statistics page for exact current counts.
Joker sum range
For 5 balls from 1–45, the mathematical range runs from 15 up to 215. In practice, the middle 70% of real draws fall between roughly 84 and 144, averaging around 113.
Joker's eight prize categories and jackpot odds
Joker pays out across eight tiers, from matching just 2 of your 5 main numbers plus the Joker, up to the top prize: all 5 main numbers plus the Joker. The jackpot odds are 1 in C(45,5) × 20 = 1 in 24,435,180.
Every Joker ticket can also be extended with NOROC PLUS, which — unlike the main NOROC add-on available on other Loteria Română games — is only available on Joker tickets and generates a separate 6-digit number for its own prize draw.
