South American Lottery Time Series Data

Draw history for the Colombia Baloto Lottery (Baloto and Revancha) provides a precise, time-series record of winning numbers collected since 2017. The records are sourced from the official Baloto results page. This dataset is valuable for studying patterns in random number generation, particularly because the data collection starts exactly when the lottery ball pool methodology was officially changed in April 2017. The expected update frequency for this product is weekly.

The dataset includes seven key fields detailing the outcome of each draw:

Date (Fecha Date): The specific date the draw occurred. Ball 1 to Ball 5 (Balota 1 to Balota 5): These represent the five primary winning numbers drawn in the game. These regular balls range in value from 1 to 43. Ball 7 (SuperBalota PowerBall): This is the designated bonus number, drawn from a separate pool, with values ranging from 1 to 16.

The data is available as a single tabular file in CSV format, labelled baloto.csv, with a total size of approximately 16.51 kB. It contains 7 columns and 603 verified records. The time series is clean, with zero mismatched or missing values across all columns.

This material is an excellent resource for probability analysis, statistical modelling, and time series investigations. It is particularly suitable for beginners wishing to engage in simple time series projects or for researchers examining the frequency and distribution of results in large-scale gambling systems. It can also serve as a practical example for demonstrating true random number distributions.

The data focuses exclusively on the Baloto and Revancha lottery in Colombia, making its geographic scope South America. The time frame captured begins on 22 April 2017 and extends through 8 March 2023, ensuring continuity since the operational change in the lottery's methodology.
