How to read this page

Reading it: With only 24-26 bonus numbers every number appears often, so the differences between numbers are small. Compare each value with the black tick.
What it can't tell you: The bonus ball is drawn from its own machine, independent of the white balls and of earlier draws.

How Bonus Ball is calculated

This site does not guarantee winning. Lottery draws are random and past results do not predict future results. Every chart here describes the past. It cannot raise your chances of winning.
