Lotto predictions: Numbers to look out for in the next draw
Trends across recent Lotto draws reveal repeat appearances and range clusters that may interest players:
- Number 42 has featured prominently, showing up in multiple draws between 6 and 17 September, often as a Bonus Ball.
- Number 21 has emerged in four of the last six Lotto or Plus draws, most recently in Lotto Plus 1 and Plus 2 on 17 September.
- The 30s range—including 33, 35, 36, 38, and 39—has remained active across several draws, particularly in Lotto Plus 1.
- Low 20s and high 40s remain dominant in Bonus Ball positions, with 42, 47, and 49 each making more than one appearance in September.
It’s important to remember that while numerical trends may occur, Lotto outcomes are governed by certified random draws. There is no proven strategy or pattern that can guarantee success, and all numbers have an equal chance of being drawn in each round.
