How Take 5 works
Take 5 is a New York lottery game drawn Daily (evening), with tickets from $1. NumbersIntel gathers its latest results, full odds and prize structure, and number-frequency history in one place.
We compute the odds directly from the game's published rules, so you can see exactly what each prize tier is worth. As with every lottery game, the expected value of a ticket is below what you pay for it — it is entertainment, not an investment.
Our archive holds 10,709 Take 5 draws going back to 1992, which powers the number-frequency statistics — the most and least common numbers, current hot and cold streaks, and the longest-overdue numbers. Those describe what has already happened; because each draw is independent, no number is ever truly ‘due.’

About this data
Every figure here comes from official lottery sources, refreshed after each drawing. We compute the odds from the game's published rules and, where the prize structure allows, the expected value of a ticket. See our methodology page for the full method, and the guides on expected value, how the odds work and whether hot numbers win.
