Emirates Draw Number Frequency: What It Really Shows

How often each EASY 6, FAST 5, MEGA 7 and WILD 5 number has been drawn, what even chance looks like for each game, and why no number is ever due.

Published 31 October 2026 · the numbers in this guide are read live from our archive.

The short answer. Frequency data tells you what has already happened and nothing else. Over a short archive some numbers will always be ahead and others behind, because that is what random draws look like, and the gap closes as the archive grows rather than pointing at the next draw. Read it out of interest, not as a system.

What even chance looks like, game by game

Before any frequency table means anything, you need the figure it should be compared against. It is simple arithmetic: the number of draws we hold, multiplied by how many numbers come out each time, divided by the size of the pool. Any count near that figure is unremarkable. A count well away from it over a hundred-odd draws is also unremarkable, which is the part people find hardest to accept.

EASY 6 109 6 from 39 15.4% 16.8
FAST 5 111 5 from 42 11.9% 13.2
MEGA 7 109 7 from 37 18.9% 20.6
WILD 5 18 5 from 49 10.2% 1.8

Notice how different the last column is between games. A game that draws seven numbers from a small pool gives every number far more chances to appear than one that draws five from a large pool, so the two games' frequency tables are not comparable and should never be read side by side.

Why a short archive always looks lumpy

Randomness is not evenness

If you toss a coin a hundred times you do not get fifty heads in alternating order; you get streaks, and a final count somewhere near fifty. Lottery numbers behave the same way. A hundred draws is a small sample for a pool of forty-odd numbers, so a spread of several appearances either side of the even-chance figure is the expected result, not a pattern.

The leader changes and it means nothing

Whichever number is top of a frequency table today can be overtaken by a single draw. If a ranking can move that easily on one night's data, it was never describing a property of the number.

There is no memory in the machine

Every draw begins with the full pool again. Nothing in the equipment, and nothing in the rules, carries information about what happened last week into this week's draw.

The one thing frequency data can honestly be used for

It cannot improve your chance of matching. That is fixed by the format, and here is what the format actually costs in each game:

EASY 6 top-prize odds: there are 3,262,623 ways to choose 6 numbers from 1–39, so matching all of them with one line is 1 in 3,262,623. This is arithmetic on the game’s format, not a claim about any draw.

FAST 5 top-prize odds: there are 850,668 ways to choose 5 numbers from 1–42, so matching all of them with one line is 1 in 850,668. This is arithmetic on the game’s format, not a claim about any draw.

MEGA 7 top-prize odds: there are 10,295,472 ways to choose 7 numbers from 1–37, so matching all of them with one line is 1 in 10,295,472. This is arithmetic on the game’s format, not a claim about any draw.

WILD 5 top-prize odds: there are 1,906,884 ways to choose 5 numbers from 1–49, so matching all of them with one line is 1 in 1,906,884. This is arithmetic on the game’s format, not a claim about any draw.

What number choice can change is what you would share a prize with. Dates, birthdays and small numbers are held by more entries than the rest of the pool, so a win on widely played numbers is more likely to be split. That is a statement about other players, not about the draw, and it only matters in tiers where prizes are shared. If that reasoning appeals to you, the useful reading is which numbers are popular rather than which are frequent, and nobody publishes the first.

How to read a frequency table without fooling yourself

There is a way to look at these tables that keeps them interesting and a way that quietly turns them into a betting system. The difference is mostly in the questions you ask of them.

  1. Start with the even-chance figure, not the top row. Whatever the table's leader has done, the useful comparison is how far it sits from the figure every number would average. Usually the answer is "not far", which is the whole story.
  2. Check the size of the archive. A hundred draws of a six-from-thirty-nine game is a few hundred individual balls. Small samples wander, and a table built on one will always have a top and a bottom even when nothing is happening.
  3. Ignore the waiting column as a signal. It answers "when was this number last seen", which is a fact. It does not answer "is it about to appear", which is not a question the data can address.
  4. Watch a ranking over a month. If the order reshuffles as new draws land, and it will, you have watched the evidence that the ranking was noise.
  5. Never combine two games' tables. Different pools and different pick counts produce different baselines, so a number's count in one game says nothing about the same number in another.

Read that way, a frequency page is a record of what the archive contains. Read the other way, it becomes a reason to spend more on entries than you meant to, which is the outcome every honest results site should be trying not to cause.

The questions this data genuinely answers

Frequency data is not useless; it is just useful for smaller things than people hope. It settles whether a number really has been absent as long as it feels, it shows how lumpy a fair process looks over a short run, and it gives you a quick way to sanity-check a result you have been sent by somebody else: a number outside the game's pool is a wrong game or a wrong screenshot, and the pool size is right there at the top of each page. For a few readers that last use is the reason they open the page at all.

What we publish, and what we refuse to

Each Emirates game now has its own frequency page: every number in the pool, how many times it has been drawn, what share of draws that is, and how many draws it has been waiting. The pages state the even-chance figure at the top so the table is read against something rather than in isolation.

What we will not do is sell any of it as a prediction. Our number scoring was tested against hundreds of past draws and performed the same as picking at random. The page that hosts it says so plainly, which is the only honest way to publish a feature like that.

Play for the entertainment, not on a system. No arrangement of past results changes the odds of the next draw. We publish results and their history; we do not sell entries and we are not connected to any operator.

Most recent MEGA 7 draw on record: 25 Oct 2026 — 1, 18, 20, 25, 27, 34, 36.

Frequently asked questions

It depends on the game, and it changes as the archive grows. Each game has its own frequency page listing every number with its count, and the leader there is a fact about the past rather than a tip about the next draw.
No. Every draw starts from the full pool again, so a number missing for twenty draws is exactly as likely as one drawn last week. The waiting column on our frequency pages exists because people ask for it, not because it forecasts anything.
Take the number of recorded draws, multiply by how many numbers are drawn each time, and divide by the size of the pool. That figure is what even chance looks like, and every real count sits either side of it.
Not your chance of matching, which is fixed by the format. It can change what you would share a prize with, because popular numbers are held by more entries, but that is a claim about other players and not about the draw.
