Cash Pot Hot, Cold, Frequency and Last Played

Four statistics that answer different questions

Why sample size changes the answer

A number can be hot across the last 36 draws and ordinary across the last 720. Neither result is automatically wrong. They describe different windows. A useful statistics page labels both the total number of draws analysed and the recent sample used for hot and cold rankings.

Cash Pot Today's hot and cold dashboard uses a recent sample for heat and the available archive for overall frequency.

How to read last played and draws since

Last played should include the date and draw slot, because six results occur per day. A number that appeared in Early Bird today has a smaller gap than a number last seen in Evening yesterday, even though both dates look recent.

The number frequency list includes each number's latest date, draw name, and completed-draw gap. This is more precise than saying only that a number has not played for one day.

Cold does not mean due

Each Cash Pot base number has the same stated 1-in-36 chance in a fair draw. A long gap describes what already happened; it does not force the next result to correct the history. This mistaken belief is often called the gambler's fallacy.

Statistics can help users organise and verify their observations. They should not be presented as proof of a guaranteed number.

A sensible way to compare numbers

1. Choose one clearly labelled date range or sample.
2. Compare frequency, last played, and draw slot separately.
3. Open the underlying history before trusting an unusual count.
4. Do not keep changing the window until it supports a preferred answer.
5. Keep any number selection inside a fixed entertainment budget.
