Most Common Romanian Loto 6/49 Numbers — Full Frequency Analysis & Odds
Loto 6/49 draws 6 main numbers from a 1–49 pool every Thursday and Sunday, run by Loteria Română. It uses the same combinatorics as Canada's Lotto 6/49, though the two games have entirely separate draws and jackpots.
Loto 6/49 main ball frequency
Across our full draw history, the five most frequently drawn main balls have been 25, 5, and a tie between 6 and 4, followed by 2, while 29, 22, and a tie between 47, 31 and 41 have appeared least often. With 49 numbers and 6 drawn per game, each ball's expected share is roughly 12.2% of draws.

Loto 6/49 sum range
For 6 balls from 1–49, the mathematical range runs from 21 up to 279. In practice, the middle 70% of real draws fall between roughly 114 and 182, averaging around 147.
Jackpot odds and how winnings are taxed
The jackpot odds are 1 in C(49,6) = 1 in 13,983,816 — matching all 6 numbers. The guaranteed minimum jackpot is 1,000,000 RON. Every Loto 6/49 ticket also enters a separate NOROC draw, which generates a random 7-digit number for an additional prize category alongside your main numbers.
Unlike Ireland, the UK or Canada, Romanian lottery winnings are taxed on a sliding scale: 3% on the portion up to 10,000 RON, 20% on the portion between 10,000 and 66,750 RON, and 40% on anything above 66,750 RON. Because a real jackpot clears that top threshold many times over, the effective tax rate on a Loto 6/49 jackpot works out close to 40%.
