Every number on a LottoIQ game page has a Due Score from 0 to 100. The score brings four types of historical information together so players can quickly compare numbers. A higher Due Score does not mean a number has better odds of appearing in the next draw. It only means the number ranks highly across the four signals explained below. Four Signals, One Score Due Score combines four historical signals. Each signal is worth up to 25 points, for a maximum total of 100. You can

Here's exactly where that data comes from and how it gets into the site. Every stat on LottoIQ, Due Score, Hot & Cold, Overdue Numbers, Pattern Statistics, the Generator, ultimately depends on one thing underneath all of it: the accuracy of the historical draw data it's built on. The Source Every draw LottoIQ has ever analyzed traces back to OLG's own official published results for Lotto 6/49, Lotto MAX, Lottario, and Ontario 49. LottoIQ doesn't generate, estimate, or simulat

A closer look at what AI can and can't do for your lottery picks You've probably seen it by now: sites promising "AI-generated" lottery numbers, often sitting behind a monthly subscription. The pitch sounds appealing, feed enough data into a smart enough model, and it'll spot what humans can't. So it's a fair question to ask: does AI actually make your lottery numbers choice better? The honest answer is no. Not for prediction. Here's why. What AI is actually good at. AI and m

Lotto MAX is the big one. Jackpots that start at $10 million and can run all the way to $90 million. But with great jackpots comes a bigger pool, 52 numbers, pick 7, and odds of 1 in 33.4 million. The strategy here must account for that wider spread. The Game in Numbers Pool: 1–52 Pick: 7 numbers Draws: Tuesday & Friday Two draws a week: similar data density to 6/49, but 3 more numbers to cover and 1 extra pick per set. Why MAX Needs a Different Approach Three extra numbers i

Ontario 49 is the local version of a classic. Same pool as Lotto 6/49 (1–49, pick 6), same draw days (Wednesday & Saturday), but at $1 a play instead of $3, and with a fixed $2 million jackpot every draw, guaranteed. It's not going to make you retire early, but the economics are friendlier, and the strategy is clean. The Game in Numbers Pool: 1–49 Pick: 6 numbers Draws: Wednesday & Saturday Fixed $2M jackpot: no rollovers, guaranteed every draw How Ontario 49 Compares to Lott

Lotto 6/49 is the granddaddy of Canadian lotteries. Two draws a week, pool of 49 numbers, pick 6. Simple enough but with over 13.9 million possible combinations, even shaving off the worst choices matters. Here's how LottoIQ approaches it. The Game in Numbers Pool: 1–49 Pick: 6 numbers Draws: Wednesday & Saturday Two draws a week means roughly 100 draws a year. That's a solid dataset, enough for the decay weighting in Due Score to work with real signal rather than noise. Quic

Lottario is the underdog of Ontario lotteries. One dollar gets you two sets of numbers, one draw per week, and a jackpot that starts at $250,000 and rolls until someone wins it. It's not flashy but it has a tighter pool than any other game LottoIQ covers, and that changes the strategy meaningfully. The Game in Numbers Pool: 1–45 Pick: 6 numbers Draws: Saturday only One draw per week: This is the critical difference. Why the Single Weekly Draw Changes Everything With only 52 d

Why merging 6/49 and Ontario 49 history is a mistake, even though both games use the same 1–49 pool. It's a natural question. Lotto 6/49 and Ontario 49 both draw six numbers from 1 to 49, so it's tempting to think: why not pool every draw from both games and get twice the history to work with? More data usually means a clearer picture, right? Not here. The two games share a number range, but they don't share a draw. Every 6/49 draw and every Ontario 49 draw is a separate, ind

A double feature that quietly makes LottoIQ much more useful Two features this week that don't always get the spotlight but are among the more useful things on LottoIQ, one that shapes everything you see on the platform, and one that answers a question every long-term lottery player has wondered about. The Dataset Selector At the top of every stats page sits a choice that most people make once and forget about but shouldn't. The Dataset Selector lets you choose which slice of

An Insider feature that surfaces the most frequent two-number combinations in draw history Frequency analysis usually focuses on individual numbers, how often does 23 come up, how long has 41 been absent. But numbers don't appear in isolation. They appear in sets, and across thousands of draws, certain pairs of numbers show up together far more often than chance alone would suggest. The Top Number Pairs section on LottoIQ surfaces exactly that. How it works For Insider member

An Insider feature that puts your personal picks on autopilot. Most people who play the lottery regularly have a set of numbers they always include, a birthday, an anniversary, a combination that just feels right. The problem is remembering to add them every single time, across every generated set. The My Numbers feature on LottoIQ solves that. How it works As an Insider member, you can save up to 2 of your own numbers directly in the generator. Once saved, those numbers are

Not a random number button, a filtered, frequency-weighted picker you control. Most lottery apps have a quick pick button. You tap it, you get numbers, you have no idea why those numbers were chosen. The LottoIQ Number Generator works differently, it lets you set your own criteria before a single number is selected, and then explains why each number made the cut. What every member gets Four filters are available to all Standard members: Sum range: Choose Typical, Low, or High

Numbers don't just matter individually, their patterns do as well. When most people think about lottery analytics, they think about individual numbers, which ones come up most, which ones have gone quiet. But there's another layer worth paying attention to: the structural patterns of winning draws themselves. The Pattern Statistics section on LottoIQ breaks down the characteristics of recent draws across four dimensions, giving you a clearer picture of what a typical winning

The ones that haven't appeared in a while, and what you can do with that. Every lottery number has a draw count since it last appeared. The Overdue Numbers section on LottoIQ tracks exactly that, ranking every number in the pool by how long it's been absent from results. The longer the gap, the higher it ranks. How it works The overdue list is sorted automatically so the numbers with the longest absence sit at the top. It covers all four Canadian games on LottoIQ and updates

Not all numbers are created equally at least lately Every number in a lottery pool has the same mathematical odds on draw day. But in practice, some numbers have been showing up regularly in recent draws while others have gone quiet. The Hot & Cold Numbers section on LottoIQ puts both sides of that picture in front of you at once. How it works Two panels, side by side. Hot numbers are the top 6 most drawn in your selected dataset, the ones making regular appearances lately. C

A closer look at one of LottoIQ's most-used features If you've ever picked lottery numbers and wondered whether some numbers come up more often than others, you're not alone. It's one of the most common questions lottery players ask, and the Draw Frequency Heatmap on LottoIQ is built to answer it visually, at a glance. How it works Every number in the pool is displayed as a ball, coloured on a scale from cool to warm based on how often it's appeared in real historical draws.
