USA Lottery Results for December 18, 2025

Several numbers stood out in Thursday night’s U.S. lottery drawings, as all four scheduled games were drawn. A few familiar picks showed up again across the board, giving players something to keep an eye on heading into the next round of draws.

Gimme 5

Gimme 5 drew 8, 9, 27, 28, and 30 tonight with a $100K top prize on the line. Two of those numbers, 9 and 30, rank among the game's most frequent draws over the past month.

Number 30 appeared in 26.7% of the last 30 draws, matching the frequency of number 3 at the same rate. That's roughly eight times each across the period, well above the expected frequency for any single number. Meanwhile, number 9 wasn't far behind at 23.3%, tying with numbers 11 and 16 at that same level.

On the opposite end, numbers 5 and 1 stayed absent, each appearing in just 3.3% of recent draws. That's one appearance apiece across 30 drawings, marking them as the game's coldest numbers. For the complete breakdown of hot and cold trends, check the Gimme 5 analysis.
