But which numbers have better odds at being drawn?
There are birthdays and other special dates people often use, while some gamblers simply have favourite numbers or what they believe to be lucky ones that they gravitate towards.
In an analysis, MinimumDepositCasinos.org looked at data spanning 2020 to 2024 from top Canadian games including Lotto Max, Lotto 6/49 and Daily Grand to identify the most frequently drawn numbers.
It seems seven is often described as “lucky” for a reason.
The number appeared 214 times, and is considered by many a “powerful and mystical number that resonates with wisdom and enlightenment,” the website analysis said.
Numerologically speaking, seven is often associated with “introspection, spiritual growth, and a quest for deeper truth.”

We apologize, but this video has failed to load.
The experts turned to numerology, breaking down 46 to 4 + 6 = 10, and then further to 1 + 0 = 1, as the number one can be associated with “new beginnings, leadership, and individuality.”
Coming in the third spot and appearing 195 times is the number 14, and then further down to 1 + 4 = 5, the number five can symbolize change and freedom as players seek to transform their lives with new experiences.
