Lotto predictions: Numbers to look out for in the next draw
The August 2025 Lotto draws presented several recurring patterns that continue to interest players:
- High-frequency numbers: The number 50 featured in Lotto draws on 16, 20 and 27 August, and has also shown up in Lotto Plus 2. Similarly, 41 was drawn on 16 and 20 August, then again on 23 August in Lotto Plus 1.
- Mid-range streaks: Number 17 has now appeared multiple times, including 16, 23 and 27 August draws.
- Double-digit pairs such as 22–23, 28–29, and 25–26 were observed in close proximity across the past five draws.
- Bonus Ball trends: Teen bonus balls — such as 13, 18, 19 and 20 — remain active across Lotto and Plus draws, indicating frequent appearances in recent rounds.
While these trends provide insight into recent draw behaviour, it is important to remember that Lotto is a game of pure chance. Each draw is random, and previous results do not influence future outcomes. Patterns may appear, but they do not provide a predictive edge.
Losing too much money playing Lotto? – Here’s when you know you need help
For many, Lotto is a form of light entertainment — but it can become a concern when it starts affecting financial or emotional well-being. Warning signs of gambling problems include:
- Buying tickets more frequently than intended
- Spending more than your budget allows
- Feeling anxious, regretful or guilty after playing
- Borrowing money to purchase Lotto tickets
- Hiding your Lotto activity from those around you
If any of these behaviours feel familiar, it may be time to seek help. The National Responsible Gambling Programme (NRGP) provides free, confidential support 24/7. Call 0800 006 008 to speak with a trained counsellor.
