About This Analysis

Cash4Life was a daily multi-state lottery game where players picked 5 numbers from 1 to 60 and 1 Cash Ball from 1 to 4. The top prize was $1,000 a day for life. Cash4Life was discontinued on February 21, 2026 and replaced by Millionaire For Life.

Our analysis covers 100 drawings. You can review which numbers have appeared most and least often, examine odd/even distributions, find the most common number pairs and triplets, and check your own numbers against past results. Data updates automatically after every drawing, pulled directly from the New York State Open Data portal.

Important disclaimer: Every lottery drawing is an independent random event. Past results do not influence future outcomes. The statistics on this page are for informational and entertainment purposes only.

How to Read These Statistics

The visualizations on this page show you what has already happened in Cash4Life, not what will happen next. Here's how to interpret them correctly:

Number Frequency

The frequency chart counts how many times each number has shown up in past drawings. Some numbers will appear slightly more often than others — this is normal and is called "statistical variance." In a truly random process with thousands of drawings, you'd expect all numbers to converge to the same count, but with only a few hundred or few thousand drawings, normal variation produces apparent "winners." These differences are noise, not signal.

Hot and Cold Numbers

We label the top 10 most-frequent numbers as "hot" and the 10 least-frequent as "cold." This is a descriptive categorization, not a predictive recommendation. A hot number is no more likely to be drawn tomorrow than a cold number — the drawing machine has no memory.

Odd/Even Distribution

This metric shows how often drawings have a 3-odd/2-even split, 2-odd/3-even split, and so on. Most drawings (~66%) fall into mixed splits because the space of mixed combinations is mathematically larger than all-same combinations. It's not that the lottery "prefers" mixed — it's that there are simply more mixed combinations available.

So What Is This Data Actually Useful For?

Two honest uses: (1) it's interesting, and curiosity is a valid reason to look at data; (2) if you do play, knowing which numbers are popular (birthday numbers 1–31) can help you pick numbers that are less likely to share a jackpot with many other winners. Read our full breakdown on smart number-picking strategies for the complete playbook.
