This guide explains the Lotto Plus records used by TTLottoStats and the distinction between current selections, retained historical values and the separate Powerball. It is a reference for reading the Analyzer and tools, not a prediction method.
The current game model
Current Lotto Plus selections use five main numbers from the range 1–35. The Powerball is a separate value from 1–10. It is not a sixth main number, so the site analyzes it separately from the five-number main result.
This separation matters because a main-number frequency, gap or combination describes one part of the draw, while a Powerball frequency or gap describes another.
Database snapshot
At the time this guide was prepared, the database reported 2,567 draws and contained 2,567 raw stored rows. The database was marked updated on 2026-09-16. The oldest usable record was draw #1 on 2001-07-04, and the latest usable record was draw #2567 on 2026-09-16.
Historical main number 36
The retained dataset contains valid historical records with main number 36. In the current verified data, the observed period containing 36 runs from draw #6 on 2001-07-21 through draw #1164 on 2012-09-01. A total of 165 valid records contain 36.
Current number pickers use 1–35, while historical tools retain valid records containing 36 so that older history is not silently removed.
Powerball history
All Powerball values from 1 through 10 occur in the current usable dataset. The current project does not provide authoritative evidence of a historical Powerball range transition, so this guide records the observed range without assigning an official historical change to it.
Valid historical records
For a record to be used as a valid research record, it must have:
- An integer draw number.
- A date in YYYY-MM-DD form.
- Exactly five main numbers.
- Five unique main numbers.
- Main values within the historical range 1–36.
- A separate valid Powerball from 1–10.
The current snapshot also contains one all-zero placeholder row. It is excluded because it does not represent a complete five-number research record. There are currently no repeated-main rows, invalid-main-range rows, invalid-Powerball rows or malformed rows in the snapshot.
Research windows
The Lotto Plus Analyzer lets the user choose:
- Last 20 draws
- Last 50 draws
- Last 100 draws
- Last 250 draws
- Last 500 draws
- All available draws
When the window changes, frequency, current gap and category measurements are recalculated from the selected valid records. A number can therefore have a different descriptive result in the last 20 draws than in all available history.
How to interpret the data
The dataset records what appeared in the retained history. It does not by itself establish what will happen in a future draw, and an observed transition in the data should not be presented as an official game-history fact without authoritative supporting documentation.
