The short answer is no. Frequency data is not useless, though — it is useful somewhere other than where people expect.
The machine has no memory
Every draw is independent of every other. Whether 7 came up last week or has been absent for two hundred draws, its chance of appearing this week is identical to every other number's.
The belief that a number is "due" is the gambler's fallacy. Balls do not remember, and probability does not correct itself to restore balance.
The mirror-image belief is just as wrong: a number appearing often lately is not "running hot." The reasoning fails for the same reason.
Uneven results are what randomness looks like
After roughly 1,200 draws of a 6/45 game, each number will have appeared about 160 times on average. In practice one number will sit near 180 and another near 140.
A perfectly even distribution would be the surprising outcome. Random processes always produce spread, and the size of that spread is itself predictable.
So the differences you see in a frequency chart are not evidence of hot numbers. They are evidence that the randomness is working properly.
What frequency data is good for
It cannot improve your odds. It can, however, hint at what other people are picking.
Prizes are divided among everyone holding the winning combination, so your payout — though never your chance — depends on how crowded your choice is. A few patterns are reliably popular.
That is why this site shows frequency statistics as a reference rather than a prediction, and labels them that way on screen.

The "most frequently drawn numbers" that news stories circulate
The summary is this. If you want to change your odds, the only lever is buying more distinct combinations. If you want to improve your expected payout, the only rational lever is choosing combinations other people avoid. These are two entirely different things, and only the second has anything to do with frequency charts.
Frequently asked questions
So is picking at random the best approach?
Your odds are the same however you pick. Random generation does sidestep the clustering that human choices create, which can leave you sharing a prize with fewer people if you win.
Do lottery analysis programs work?
Predicting a future draw from past results is impossible in principle, because each draw is independent. No analysis changes 1 in 8.1 million.
