As of the October 27, 2026 draw, the Lotto Max number that has gone the longest without being drawn is 16: last drawn on June 26, 2026, 35 draws ago. That describes the past only; it doesn't make it more likely to be drawn next.

* The most consecutive draws without the number since May 14, 2019. “Draws since” counts the draws after the one it last appeared in.
Is a number that hasn’t come up for a while “overdue”?
No. “Overdue” is a common name for a long gap, but a gap only describes the past. With 7 numbers drawn from 52, any given number is left out of most draws, so long runs are normal: since May 14, 2019, every number has gone at least 24 draws in a row without being drawn, and the longest run was 61 draws. A long current gap doesn’t make a number any more likely to appear in the next draw.
Every draw is independent: the machine has no memory, so a number that has come up often, rarely or not for a long time has exactly the same chance as any other in the next draw. These figures describe what has happened, not what will.
