Most lottery sites stop at the winning numbers. For each of California's 5 draw games we publish the exact odds from the game's own number matrix, the full prize table, and where the prizes are fixed, the expected value per dollar — the figure that says what a ticket is really worth.
The most winnable game in California
Of the 5 California draw games we track, Fantasy 5 has the shortest odds on its top prize at 1 in 575,757 ($1 a play). Shorter odds mean a smaller prize — that is the trade every lottery makes — but it is the game in California where the top prize is least out of reach. Compare every state.

We hold 3,872 California draws in total. Odds come from each game's published number matrix, not from a model; where a game's lower tiers are pari-mutuel we show odds only rather than invent a value per dollar.
Fantasy 5's advertised jackpot has ranged from $18,738 to $864,000 across the draws we hold.
Which numbers come up most in Fantasy 5?
Across 2,227 Fantasy 5 draws on its current 1–39 number pool (since 2020), the most-drawn numbers are 11 (321), 33 (317), 10 (316), 27 (309), 19 (308). The least-drawn are 34 (267), 37 (263), 12 (254), 24 (252), 20 (251).
The commonest number leads the rarest by about 28% — and that means nothing. Across this many draws ordinary random variation produces spreads of roughly this size; a fair game would almost never land every number on an identical count. No number is "due", and none of this predicts the next draw. We only count draws from the game's current number pool, because earlier draws used a different one and mixing them invents a pattern that was never there. We tested whether hot numbers actually win.
