Lotto predictions: Numbers to look out for in the next draw
A review of draws held between late August and mid-September 2025 reveals several repeating patterns that may catch the attention of Lotto enthusiasts:
- Number 42 appeared in five draws across all games between 6 and 13 September, frequently as a Bonus Ball.
- Number 30 remains one of the most frequently drawn numbers over the last month, showing up in at least four draws, mostly in Lotto Plus 1.
- Numbers in the 40s range, including 41, 42, 44, 46, and 47, have continued to dominate across Lotto and Plus draws.
- Number 28 has been particularly recurrent, drawn in three consecutive Lotto results between 6 and 13 September.
While such trends can be interesting to observe, it’s essential to keep in mind that the Lotto is a game of chance. Each draw is randomized, with every number having an equal likelihood of being selected, regardless of how often it has appeared in past results.
