Draw 1,659 of Melate Retro was played on the night of Tuesday, August 11, 2026, and it produced an almost textbook set of numbers: 4, 8, 13, 21, 27 and 30, with 17 as the additional number. Add them up and you get 103 — nearly the game's exact historical average. Three even numbers, three odd; three from the low half of the board, three from the high half. Nobody engineered that balance — it's simply what Melate Retro statistics tend to look like once you study all 1,659 draws recorded since 2010, instead of judging a single ticket in isolation.
What Melate Retro statistics actually are
Anyone searching "estadisticas melate retro" is usually after one of two things: understanding what the frequency tables floating around online actually mean, or checking whether there's a pattern hiding behind almost two decades of draws. The short answer to the second question is no — every Retro draw is an independent event with no memory of the last one — but the first question does have a useful answer. A Melate Retro statistic is simply a numeric summary of what already happened: how many times each number has come up, how often the sum of the six numbers falls in a given range, how many draws split even and odd one way or another. It's history, not a forecast.
A different board: why Melate Retro statistics aren't Melate's
The first thing that changes every statistic is the board itself. Melate draws 6 numbers out of 56, plus an additional number; Melate Retro draws 6 out of just 39, also with an additional number. That gap of 17 numbers — nearly a third fewer balls — completely changes how the tables should be read: the odds of hitting the Retro jackpot are 1 in 3,262,623, very different from 1 in 32,468,436 for Melate. A smaller board also means that, on average, each individual number comes up more often relative to the years of history collected. Comparing raw figures between the two games without accounting for this leads to the wrong conclusions. We cover those format differences in more depth in Melate vs Melate Retro, and in why Retro exists as a separate game at all in what Melate Retro is and why it exists. Another difference with real statistical weight: Retro is drawn Tuesdays and Saturdays, while Melate is drawn Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays — so Retro's historical sample grows more slowly, draw by draw.
The sum of six numbers: what 1,659 draws' average tells you
One of the most-checked statistics is the sum of the six main numbers. Across 1,659 Melate Retro draws — from the first, in June 2010, through the one on August 11, 2026 — the historical average of that sum is 120.0, with a recorded minimum of just 35 and a maximum of 202. The draw 1,659 that opened this article, with a sum of 103, landed just below the average: not rare, not special, just one more point in a distribution that, draw after draw, tends to cluster near the middle. That's not magic — it's what happens when you add six numbers drawn from a fixed range. Extreme sums are possible but very rare, while middling sums have far more distinct combinations that can produce them. Knowing the average doesn't tell you what will come up next draw; it tells you how the arithmetic behaves when you repeat it thousands of times.
Even, odd, high, low: the bell curve hiding behind chance
The even/odd split tells the same story from another angle. Of the 1,659 draws on record, 597 — a little more than one in three — ended with exactly three even numbers and three odd ones: by a comfortable margin, the single most common combination. At the other extreme, all six numbers landing even or all six landing odd happened only 39 times combined across the game's entire history, under 2.5% of draws. Low numbers (1 to 20) and high numbers (21 to 39) behave the same way: a 3-3 split, like draw 1,659's, is the most frequent outcome of all. This isn't the draw favoring certain patterns — it's what pure combinatorics predicts, the same logic that explains why flipping six coins almost never lands on "six heads" in a row. We go into this in more depth, applied to lottery draws generally, in the law of large numbers and the lottery.
Frequent and overdue numbers: curiosities, not clues
Every Melate Retro statistics table eventually surfaces a list of "hot" and "cold" numbers. Through draw 1,659, 26 is the number that has appeared most often among the six main numbers — 294 draws — and 5 the least, at 219. That gap is real, but it doesn't mean what a lot of people assume. The concept of lag (how many draws a number has gone without appearing) is one of the most-consulted curiosities: in draw 1,659, number 27 had gone 19 draws without appearing before it finally came up that night. It's tempting to read that as "it was due," but that's the gambler's fallacy: the balls don't remember how long they've sat unpicked. A number with a 19-draw lag has, on the very next draw, exactly the same probability as one that came up last week. We cover this same phenomenon with Melate data in the most overdue numbers — the logic is identical for Retro; only the board size changes.

Frequently asked questions
What are Melate Retro statistics?
Numeric summaries of draws that already happened: how often each number comes up, how even and odd numbers split, what the typical sum of the six winning numbers is. They describe the past; they don't predict the next draw.
Where do I see updated Melate Retro statistics?
On MelateBot's statistics page, which updates draw by draw, or on results if you just want the most recent winning numbers.
Is Melate Retro's statistic calculated the same way as Melate's?
The method is the same — counting appearances, sums, parity — but the board isn't: Retro draws 6 numbers out of 39, not 56, so the figures will never match Melate's even using the identical formula.
Do statistics help you pick better numbers?
Not to increase your odds of winning — every draw is independent and no historical pattern changes that. They can help you avoid very popular combinations, like birthdays, which lowers the chance of splitting the prize if you do win.
How often is this data updated?
The aggregate figures in this article reflect history through draw 1,659 (August 11, 2026). Melate Retro is drawn Tuesdays and Saturdays, so the historical sample grows every week.
