Low vs High Numbers: How Balanced Are Singapore TOTO Draws?

Split the 1–49 pool in half and count how many Winning Numbers land on each side — the results are more balanced than you might guess.

Defining Low and High

For this site's purposes, "low" numbers are 1 through 24, and "high" numbers are 25 through 49 — a near-even split of the 1–49 pool (24 low numbers, 25 high numbers). Every draw's 6 Winning Numbers fall into some mix of the two.

Counting Low and High Numbers in a Draw

Just like the odd/even split, a draw's low/high split can range from 6:0 (all low) through 3:3 (perfectly balanced) to 0:6 (all high), with every combination in between.

How the Splits Compare

Across the 1,215 official Singapore TOTO draws this site currently covers (draw #2995, 9 Oct 2014, through the latest draw, #4209, 17 Aug 2026), here is how often each low:high split occurred:

  • 3:3 (balanced) — 382 draws, 31.4%
  • 2:4 — 316 draws, 26.0%
  • 4:2 — 288 draws, 23.7%
  • 5:1 — 106 draws, 8.7%
  • 1:5 — 103 draws, 8.5%
  • 0:6 (all high) — 14 draws, 1.2%
  • 6:0 (all low) — 6 draws, 0.5%

Reading Balance, Not Predicting It

The 3:3 split is the single most common outcome, followed by 2:4 and 4:2 — draws with some mix of low and high numbers are, unsurprisingly, far more common than draws where all 6 numbers land on one side. All-low (6:0) and all-high (0:6) draws are both uncommon, matching the same underlying reason odd/even 6:0 and 0:6 splits are uncommon: there are simply many more possible combinations that mix both sides than combinations that don't.

What This Doesn't Mean

This describes what has happened, not what will happen next. Every 6-number combination — whatever its low/high split — has an equal chance of being drawn; the historical frequency of a particular split is not a signal about the next draw. This concept is related to Range Distribution on the Statistics page, which shows appearance frequency across five 10-number brackets rather than a simple low/high split.
