Lotto predictions are once again in the spotlight as South Africa’s main draw rolls into midweek with a rollover pot.
For Wednesday, 10 December 2025, the Lotto jackpot is estimated at R47 million, with Lotto Plus 1 and Lotto Plus 2 sitting at R3.5 million and R5 million respectively.
Using recent results from November into early December, we look at which numbers have been appearing most often and where players may see potential trends in the next draw.
Lotto and Lotto Plus predictions: What the numbers say
Looking at the main Lotto draw from Saturday, 8 November to Saturday, 6 December 2025, a few clear patterns emerge:
- In the main Lotto game, the numbers 4 and 8 have each appeared three times in the period, while 9, 13, 19, 33, 39, 46, 53 and 56 have each landed twice.
- Mid-range and high numbers in the 30s and 40s have featured heavily. Draws like 04, 05, 06, 15, 39, 50 (22 November), 04, 08, 25, 32, 33, 36 (26 November) and 01, 08, 29, 32, 42, 53 (3 December) show a strong presence of 30-plus numbers alongside a small cluster of low single digits.
- Despite multiple rollovers, there has been no Match 6 winner in the period, which explains the climb from R24 million at the start of the sample (8 November) to R45 million on 6 December, and now an estimated R47 million for Wednesday, 10 December 2025.
For Lotto Plus 1, the data points to a different group of “busy” numbers:
- The numbers 2, 24 and 45 have emerged three times each across the sample.
- Supporting them are repeaters like 5, 12, 30, 32, 39, 46 and 49, which have each appeared twice.
- Structurally, Lotto Plus 1 boards have been balanced, often mixing one or two low single digits with a majority of 20s, 30s and 40s – for example 02, 05, 07, 24, 30, 42 (19 November) and 05, 24, 31, 46, 49, 54 (22 November).
Lotto Plus 2 has its own set of hot numbers:
- The standout repeaters here are 36, 46 and 57, which have landed three times each in the period.
- Numbers 10, 17, 27, 28, 40, 44 and 47 have come up twice, forming a strong “core” of the Plus 2 results.
- While Plus 2 jackpots have been won and reset (notably the R17 million hit on 19 November), the distribution of numbers still leans towards mid-range values, with draw patterns such as 17, 28, 36, 40, 44, 47 and 20, 21, 35, 39, 42, 57 showing that trend.
It is important to note that Lotto remains a game of chance. These observations are based purely on recent frequency and patterns and do not guarantee any future outcome.
They do, however, give a useful snapshot of where the numbers have clustered over the past few weeks.
Swisher Post Lotto and Lotto Plus predicted results for Wednesday, 10 December 2025
Over the past week of predictions, our approach has been to build boards around repeat performers and “families” of numbers in similar ranges. In several recent draws, our suggested hot-number pools have aligned with the actual results, particularly in the 20s, 30s and 40s brackets.
On multiple boards we have seen two or three of our highlighted numbers land in the same line, even though the full six-number jackpot combination has remained out of reach – which is expected in a game with millions of possible combinations.
Using the same frequency-driven method, here are our predicted selections for the Lotto and Lotto Plus draws on Wednesday, 10 December 2025.
These are not guaranteed winning lines, but they reflect where the numbers have been most active in recent weeks.
Lotto predicted boards (R47 million jackpot)
- Board 1: 4, 8, 19, 33, 39, 56
- Board 2: 5, 14, 22, 32, 46, 53
- Board 3: 1, 9, 18, 29, 42, 58
If you include the Bonus Ball in your play, you may want to build around a pool such as: 20, 28, 37, 45, 51.
Lotto Plus 1 predicted boards (R3.5 million jackpot)
- Board 1: 2, 24, 32, 39, 45, 49
- Board 2: 5, 14, 25, 30, 46, 54
- Board 3: 1, 12, 22, 31, 38, 55
Suggested Bonus Ball pool for Lotto Plus 1: 9, 21, 26, 32, 41.
Lotto Plus 2 predicted boards (R5 million jackpot)
- Board 1: 10, 17, 28, 36, 44, 57
- Board 2: 4, 14, 23, 32, 40, 46
- Board 3: 7, 19, 27, 35, 42, 47
Suggested Bonus Ball pool for Lotto Plus 2: 2, 7, 13, 18, 24.
Again, these boards are based on recent performance and number frequency, and are intended as a guide for players who enjoy using trends when picking their lines. The outcome of each draw remains random, and no pattern can guarantee a win.
Responsible gambling: know the signs and when to get help
While chasing a big jackpot can be exciting, Lotto should always remain a form of entertainment, not a financial strategy. You may need to reassess your play if you:
- Spend money on tickets that is meant for essentials like rent, food or transport.
- Chase losses by increasing your spend after a losing draw.
- Borrow money or sell belongings to fund gambling.
- Hide your gambling activity from family or friends, or feel guilty and anxious after playing.
- Find that gambling is affecting your sleep, mood, work performance or relationships.
If any of these red flags sound familiar, consider setting strict limits on how much and how often you play, or taking a complete break from gambling. Speak to someone you trust about your concerns, and contact a professional support service or the national responsible gambling helpline in South Africa for confidential assistance and counselling.
