New York Lottery Daily Statistical Breakdown – Sunday, December 7, 2025

New York’s December 7, 2025 draws leaned hard into odd numbers and higher ranges, a combination that looks suspicious to casual players but is, in reality, exactly what probability allows – just not what people like to see. Let’s dissect each game and separate genuine anomalies from gambler’s superstition.

New York Lotto – $12 Million Jackpot

Winning Numbers: 313840415255+ Bonus Ball:36

Pattern Analysis

• Core set: 31, 38, 40, 41, 52, 55
• Bonus: 36
• Range: All main numbers are between 31 and 55 – a tight high-range cluster.
• Odd/Even (main 6): 3 odd (31, 41, 55), 3 even (38, 40, 52) – a perfectly balanced split.

This is a textbook example of a combination that looks non-random to humans but is statistically boring:

• No single digits
• No teens
• Nothing below 31

Players tend to “spread out” their choices from low to high. A draw that lives entirely in the upper half of the field often means fewer people chose this pattern. That doesn’t make it more likely to be drawn – it just makes it less shared when it hits.

Key takeaway: This is the kind of set where a solo winner is more likely (if someone hit it at all) because most players avoid stacking everything high.

New York Take 5 Midday – No Jackpot Winners

Winning Numbers: 16192139

Pattern Analysis

• Numbers: 1, 6, 19, 21, 39
• Odd/Even: 3 odd (1, 19, 21), 2 even (6, 39 considered odd? No – 39 odd) – correction: 1 (odd), 6 (even), 19 (odd), 21 (odd), 39 (odd) → 4 odd, 1 even.
• Spread: Low (1, 6), mid (19, 21), high (39) – a visually “nice” spread.

Despite the “pleasant” spread, this draw still produced no jackpot winners. That undercuts the popular myth that “balanced” or “spread out” sets are more likely to win. They’re not. They’re just more likely to be picked by humans.

From a strategy standpoint, this is the kind of line you probably share with others if it hits. Low number 1 and a clean mid-high anchor at 39 are exactly the kind of choices many people gravitate toward.

New York Take 5 Evening – No Jackpot Winners

Winning Numbers: 912242935

Pattern Analysis

• Numbers: 9, 12, 24, 29, 35
• Odd/Even: 3 odd (9, 29, 35), 2 even (12, 24)
• Structure: Two numbers in the low-mid twenties (12, 24) form a simple doubling pattern.

Humans love simple math relationships: doubles, sequences, birthdays. The 12–24 pairing is exactly the kind of thing players are drawn to. Yet again: no jackpot winners.

What this tells you: even patterns that “feel right” – a bit of low, a bit of high, some mild arithmetic structure – are not rewarded by the machine. They’re only rewarded in terms of how many people you split with if you get lucky.

New York Pick 10 – $500,000 Top Prize

Winning Numbers (20 drawn): 316212733364446484950515864697275777980

Structural Breakdown

• Low (1–20): 3, 16
• Mid (21–40): 21, 27, 33, 36
• High (41–80): the remaining 14 numbers (44, 46, 48, 49, 50, 51, 58, 64, 69, 72, 75, 77, 79, 80)

This draw is heavily skewed to the high end of the field. That looks improbable, but with 20 numbers drawn from 1–80, skewed draws are not rare at all. What is interesting is the dense top cluster:

• Consecutive pair: 48–49–50–51 (a near run of four consecutive numbers)
• Top-of-range saturation: 75, 77, 79, 80 – the extreme high end is unusually busy.

Players rarely choose strings like 48–49–50–51 or load up on 75–80, because they look “rigged” or “too obvious.” That’s precisely why, when such patterns appear, they tend to be less shared.

In Pick 10, success is about coverage across 80 numbers, not romantic number stories. This draw is a reminder that the machine is indifferent to what looks “neat” or “ugly” to you.

New York Numbers – Midday & Evening (3-Digit)

Midday – Payout up to $500

Winning Combination: 548

• Digits: 5, 4, 8
• No repeats, no sequence, no symmetry – a completely ordinary 3-digit outcome.

Evening – Payout up to $500

Winning Combination: 579

• Digits: 5, 7, 9 – perfect odd-only triple.
• Step pattern: +2, +2 (5 → 7 → 9), a clean arithmetic progression.

5–7–9 is exactly the kind of combination that looks too pretty to be random. People either overplay it because it looks “lucky” or underplay it because it looks “rigged.” The reality: its odds are identical to any other 3-digit combination – 1 in 1,000 for a straight.

What matters financially is not its chance of being drawn (which is fixed), but how crowded it is. Clean progressions like 1–2–3, 3–5–7, 5–7–9 are historically overplayed, which means more splits if they hit.

New York Win 4 – Midday & Evening (4-Digit)

Midday – Payout up to $5,000

Winning Combination: 0115

• Structure: one repeated digit (1,1), plus 0 and 5.
• Pattern: looks like a plausible year fragment (“0115”) or a date code (Jan 15 → 01/15).

Date-like numbers (00–12 for month, 01–31 for day) are extremely popular. 0-1-1-5 fits that psychology. If this hit big, it likely produced more small winners rather than a few large ones.

Evening – Payout up to $5,000

Winning Combination: 5013

• Digits: 0,1,3,5 – all distinct, forming a modestly ascending set.
• Again, this can be read as a date-like code (05/13 or 5:01 time style), which tends to attract more plays than an ugly jumble like 7–9–2–8.

Across both Win 4 draws, the theme is clear: human-readable patterns – dates, partial dates, or neat progressions – continue to dominate what players choose. The machine, however, assigns them no special probability.

Final Verdict for December 7, 2025

Today’s New York Lottery slate leaned hard into odd numbers and upper-range clusters, with several draws showing the exact kinds of patterns that players either irrationally chase or irrationally avoid. The math doesn’t care either way.

If you’re still picking numbers based on what “looks right,” you’re playing a psychological game, not a financial one. The house loves that. A smarter player uses randomness for selection – and strategy for coverage and overlap reduction. The difference doesn’t change your odds of hitting, but it can dramatically change how much you keep if you ever do.
