Statistics only use draws from one rule set, because games with different numbers cannot be compared.

Odd : Even split per draw

Odd:Even	Draws	Observed	Expected by chance
0:5	37	2.6%	2.5%
1:4	206	14.5%	14.4%
2:3	441	31.1%	31.7%
3:2	452	31.9%	32.7%
4:1	242	17.1%	15.8%
5:0	41	2.9%	2.9%

Splits like 3:2 and 2:3 are the most common simply because there are more ways to make them. The black tick marks the share expected by chance.

How to read this page

Reading it: Splits such as 3 odd : 2 even are the most common simply because there are more ways to produce them. All-odd or all-even draws are rare, and they still happen.
What it can't tell you: Picking a 'balanced' mix does not raise the chance that your ticket wins; any specific set of five numbers is equally likely.

How Odd / Even is calculated
