Lotto predictions: Numbers to look out for in the next draw
Although there is no scientific way to predict Lotto numbers, historical data shows some patterns in number frequency.
For example, numbers that appear frequently in recent draws include: 16, 23, 36, 42, and 45. Players often look at recent hot and cold numbers when making their selections.
Hot numbers – those drawn more frequently over the past 10 draws – are:
- 16
- 23
- 36
Cold numbers – those drawn less frequently – include:
- 8
- 14
- 32
It is important to note that Lotto is a game of chance, and every number has an equal probability of being drawn. Past outcomes do not influence future results.
