Lotto predictions: Numbers to look out for in the next draw
Recent Lotto draws have highlighted a few recurring themes across Lotto, Lotto Plus 1 and Lotto Plus 2.
- Single-digit numbers remain active, with 02, 04, 06, and 08 appearing consistently since early August. The latest draw on 20 August again featured 02, showing that lower numbers are surfacing regularly.
- Numbers in the 40s such as 41, 43, 47, and 49 have been drawn repeatedly across both Lotto and the Plus games. For instance, 41 appeared in Lotto on 9 August and again on 20 August.
- Bonus Balls show their own trends, with 19, 22, 33, and 49 frequently recurring this month. On 16 August, 19 was the Bonus Ball in Lotto, while 49 was the Bonus Ball on 13 August.
- Consecutive numbers have also been common — examples include 22–23 on 16 August and 38–39 on 9 August, with Lotto Plus 2 also producing runs such as 26–27 on 13 August.
These patterns give players an overview of what’s been happening recently, but Lotto is a game of chance. Each draw is completely independent of the last, meaning previous results have no bearing on future ones. While some numbers may appear more often in short bursts, there is no reliable method of predicting which numbers will be drawn next.
