Take 5, Numbers, Win 4 and Fantasy 5 each run two separate draws a day. What that means for a ticket, and why the two results are unrelated.
Published 8 September 2026 · the numbers in this guide are read live from our archive.
The short answer. A midday draw and an evening draw of the same game are two separate draws. Different balls, different result, no connection. If you check an evening ticket against the midday numbers you will get the wrong answer, and this is the single most common mistake with these games.
| Game | You pick | Drawn | Draw time (ET) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Take 5 Midday | 5 numbers from 1–39 | Daily | 2:30 PM ET |
| Take 5 Evening | 5 numbers from 1–39 | Daily | 10:30 PM ET |
| Numbers Midday | 3 digits, each 0–9 | Daily | 2:30 PM ET |
| Numbers Evening | 3 digits, each 0–9 | Daily | 10:30 PM ET |
| Win 4 Midday | 4 digits, each 0–9 | Daily | 2:30 PM ET |
| Win 4 Evening | 4 digits, each 0–9 | Daily | 10:30 PM ET |
| Fantasy 5 Midday | 5 numbers from 1–36 | Daily | 1:05 PM ET |
| Fantasy 5 Evening | 5 numbers from 1–36 | Daily | 11:15 PM ET |
Four games on this site run twice a day. Three of them are in New York and one is in Florida:
It would be simpler to publish one Take 5 page with two results a day on it. We do not, for one reason: the moment two draws share a page, someone reads the wrong row. A separate page per draw means the date and the draw always agree, the archive is unambiguous, and each draw has its own frequency history rather than a merged one that describes neither.
It also matters for the analysis. Merging a midday and an evening archive would double the apparent sample size while mixing two independent sequences, which makes any pattern found in it meaningless.
A midday draw in New York at 2:30 PM Eastern lands at 10:30 PM in Dubai. The evening draw at 10:30 PM Eastern lands at 6:30 AM the next morning. So a "midday" result is an evening result where you are, and an "evening" one arrives with breakfast. Each game page on this site carries a live clock for its own region, which is there precisely so you never have to do that arithmetic.
