Runs Test — Number Streaks and Droughts

Current draw streaks, droughts, and the Wald-Wolfowitz randomness test

The runs test shows the current streak of each "Великолепная 8" lottery number — how many consecutive draws a number has appeared or been absent. The Wald-Wolfowitz test checks whether the sequence of appearances is random.

How to Use the Runs Test

Step-by-step guide to analyzing streaks and droughts of lottery numbers
1

Choose the display mode

Switch between "Droughts" and "Streaks". Droughts show how many consecutive draws a number has been absent. Streaks show how many consecutive draws it has appeared.

2

Study the KPI cards

The cards show key metrics: longest drought, longest streak, number of numbers with non-random patterns, and total number count.

3

Analyze the table and chart

The table shows current runs, maximum runs, and the Wald-Wolfowitz Z-statistic. The chart provides a visual comparison of all numbers' runs.

4

Use the generator

Mark numbers with long droughts (they are statistically "due" to appear) or with active streaks and generate combinations.

About Runs Test

Mathematical foundations of the method

Runs analysis studies runs — continuous sequences of identical events. For lotteries, these are hit runs (number appeared in N consecutive draws) and miss runs (drought — number absent for N consecutive draws).

Wald-Wolfowitz Test

Tests the randomness of a binary sequence. Counts the number of runs R and compares with the expected value. The Z-statistic shows the degree of deviation from randomness.

Z = (R - E[R]) / σ_R, где E[R] = 2n₁n₂/n + 1

Runs Test Tips

Recommendations for correct interpretation of streaks and droughts
1.
Numbers with long droughts won't necessarily appear in upcoming draws — each draw is independent.
2.
Z-statistics outside [-1.96, 1.96] indicate a non-random pattern at the 0.05 significance level.
3.
Compare "Droughts" and "Streaks" modes — a number with a long drought in one mode will have 0 in the other.
4.
Use runs analysis together with frequency analysis for a comprehensive assessment of a number's behavior.
