Lotto predictions: Numbers to look out for in the next draw
Recent Lotto and Plus draws have continued to show frequency trends for certain numbers and number ranges:
- Number 27 has appeared in at least one of the three draws in every round since 20 September, most recently in both Lotto Plus 1 and Lotto Plus 2 on 4 October.
- Number 14 has continued its high-frequency run across Lotto and Lotto Plus 2, appearing again on 1 October.
- Number 05 featured in the main Lotto draw on 1 October, the Plus 2 draw on 24 September, and reappeared in Lotto Plus 2 again on 1 October.
- Number 32 was drawn in Lotto on 24 September, then again in Plus 2 on 20 and 27 September.
Additional patterns include:
- High-value numbers such as 48, 49, and 52 continue to appear frequently across the draws, including in recent Bonus Ball selections.
- The spread of multiples of 7 (14, 21, 28) has been consistent across Lotto and Lotto Plus games throughout late September and early October.
These trends, while interesting, should be approached with caution. Lotto draws are randomised and conducted under independent oversight. Each number has an equal chance of being drawn, regardless of previous appearances.
