Lotto Plus 1 Prediction Lab
Explore how Lotto Plus 1 numbers have been drawn in recent South African draws, and see for yourself how much a ranking depends on the settings you choose.
About Lotto Plus 1 and our dataset
Lotto Plus 1 is an add-on game to Lotto, drawn on the same nights. In each draw, 6 main numbers are chosen from 1 to 52. It has its own results, separate from the main Lotto draw, so everything on this page is counted from our archive of Lotto Plus 1 draws only. The lab scores the main numbers only.
Looking for the main game? Try the Lotto Prediction Lab.
With 6 numbers drawn from 52, there are 20,358,520 possible combinations. Every one of them has the same chance of being drawn, which is 1 in 20,358,520 to match all 6 numbers.

This sample of 100 draws spans about 51 weeks of draws, so earlier history isn’t included. The lab only uses these latest draws. Older results may be on the results page.
Illustrative ranking (not a tip)
This is an illustration of how the scoring works, not a tip or a recommendation to play these numbers. Every combination has exactly the same chance of being drawn. These are the 6 highest-scoring numbers with the starting settings (50% frequency, 35% recent form, 15% gap since last drawn). The percentages are weights you can change, not probabilities.
Try the weight lab
Each slider decides how much one measure counts towards a number’s score. Move them and the highest-scoring numbers re-rank straight away. Notice how different settings give different lists. That is the whole point: the ranking reflects your choices, not anything hidden in the draws.

Understanding Lotto Plus 1 Historical Statistics
These are the four things the lab looks at. Each one is a count or comparison taken from past draws:
| Measure | What it is | What its slider does |
|---|---|---|
| Number frequency | How many times a number appeared in the 100 draws we analysed. | A higher weight lifts the numbers that appeared most often. |
| Recent frequency | How many times it appeared in the latest 40 draws only. | A higher weight lifts numbers that showed up lately. |
| Last appearance | How many draws have passed since the number last came up. | A higher weight lifts numbers that have been missing the longest. |
| Frequency distribution | How the counts compare across all 52 numbers, shown in the bars and tables further down. | No slider. It is there to read, not to score. |
A number’s score is its frequency, recent and last-appearance measures, each scaled from 0 to 1, multiplied by your weights and added up. The lab then lists the 6 highest scores. Patterns in past draws don’t establish what will happen in future ones.
The exact scaling
Frequency and recent frequency are divided by the highest count among the numbers, so the busiest number scores 1. Last appearance is divided by half the sample (at least 5 draws) and capped at 1, so a longer gap gives a higher score.
Do some numbers really come up more than others?
Short version: the counts look about like chance. If every draw were purely random, each number would show up about 11.5 times in 100 draws, give or take about 3.2. Here the most-drawn number appeared 18 times and the least-drawn 6, and 51 of 52 numbers landed inside that normal range. For random draws you would typically expect around 19 in 20. That is a rough guide, not a formal test.
Some numbers will always look busier or quieter in a sample like this. That is simply what randomness looks like, and it isn’t a pattern you can use.

Odd/even and high/low splits
Every draw can be described by how many of its numbers are odd or even, and how many are low (1 to 26) or high (27 to 52). Here is how the draws in our sample divide up.
Odd and even
| Split | Draws | Share |
|---|---|---|
| 0 odd, 6 even | 3 | 3.0% |
| 1 odd, 5 even | 11 | 11.0% |
| 2 odd, 4 even | 24 | 24.0% |
| 3 odd, 3 even | 28 | 28.0% |
| 4 odd, 2 even | 24 | 24.0% |
| 5 odd, 1 even | 10 | 10.0% |
| 6 odd, 0 even | 0 | 0.0% |
Low and high
| Split | Draws | Share |
|---|---|---|
| 0 low, 6 high | 0 | 0.0% |
| 1 low, 5 high | 16 | 16.0% |
| 2 low, 4 high | 24 | 24.0% |
| 3 low, 3 high | 31 | 31.0% |
| 4 low, 2 high | 20 | 20.0% |
| 5 low, 1 high | 8 | 8.0% |
| 6 low, 0 high | 1 | 1.0% |
Mixed splits are more common than extreme ones simply because there are more ways to make them. That says nothing about which combination will be drawn.
Draw totals
If you add up the 6 main numbers in a draw, you get its total. Totals tend to bunch around the middle, because most draws mix high and low numbers. Here is how the totals look across our sample.
| Measure | Total |
|---|---|
| Lowest total in the sample | 65 |
| Average total in the sample | 170.1 |
| Highest total in the sample | 267 |
| Average if numbers were picked at random | 159.0 |
When the sample average sits near the random-picks figure, that is simply what chance produces. A total tells you nothing about which numbers come next.
How does it compare with Lotto?
Lotto Plus 1 and Lotto are drawn on the same nights, but each draw is separate. This table lines up the 10 most-drawn numbers in each, using our latest samples (100 Lotto Plus 1 draws and 100 Lotto draws).
| Game | Most-drawn numbers in our sample |
|---|---|
| Lotto Plus 1 | 2, 12, 16, 22, 27, 32, 35, 46, 48, 51 |
| Lotto | 4, 7, 8, 10, 12, 18, 22, 24, 32, 40 |
The two lists have 3 numbers in common. If two lists of 10 numbers were picked completely at random from 52, you would expect about 1.9 in common. Any overlap is coincidence, because the draws don’t influence each other.
Lab backtest: how would it have done on the last 5 draws?
Here is a fair test. For each of the last few draws, we step back to just before it, run the lab on only the draws that came earlier, and see how many of its top 6 numbers turned up. A tick means one did.
These picks weren’t published at the time. We worked them out afterwards, using the same method as the lab above.

Across the last 50 draws we could test this way, the lab matched 0.68 numbers per draw on average. Picking 6 numbers completely at random from 52 would match about 0.69 (a rough yardstick, not a statistical test). When the two are close, the method is adding nothing beyond luck, and a small gap either way is just ordinary variation.

About Lotto Plus 1 Historical Data
TechChamp maintains a historical archive of Lotto Plus 1 results for informational and educational purposes. The statistical information on this page is calculated from the draw records available in our database.
Number frequencies and historical distributions describe previously published results. They do not indicate which numbers will appear in future draws. Each valid combination has the same probability under the applicable draw rules.
Official operator publications remain the authoritative source for confirming results.
Common questions
Does this predict the next Lotto Plus 1 draw?
No. The lab ranks numbers using past draws, and past draws don’t influence future ones. It’s a way to look at the data, not a forecast.
Is Lotto Plus 1 connected to the Lotto draw?
It is drawn on the same nights as Lotto, but it is a separate draw with its own results. Numbers drawn in one don’t influence the other.
What are the chances of matching all 6 numbers?
With 6 numbers drawn from 52, there are 20,358,520 possible combinations, so any one ticket has a 1 in 20,358,520 chance of matching all 6 main numbers. Past results don’t change that.
Does the lab include a bonus ball?
No. The lab only scores the main numbers. Where our records include an extra or bonus ball, it is shown in the results table but isn’t scored.
Where does the Lotto Plus 1 data come from?
From the results the lottery operator publishes, which we store in our archive. If a result here ever differs from the official one, the official result is correct.
How many draws does the lab look at?
Up to the latest 100 draws in our archive. The exact number and the dates they cover are shown on the page, and older results may be on the results page.
What does “last appearance” mean, and does a long gap matter?
It counts how many draws have passed since a number last came up. Many players wonder whether a long gap means a number is “due”. It doesn’t: a long gap carries no information about the next draw.
Do the sliders improve my chances?
No. Every valid combination has exactly the same chance each time, however the lab ranks the numbers.
Why do different settings give different lists?
Because the list depends entirely on how much weight you give each measure. That is why none of the lists should be treated as advice.
Were the backtest selections real predictions?
No. We worked them out afterwards using only the draws that came before each one, so you can see how the lab’s method behaves. We did not publish them in advance, and how they scored says nothing about future draws.
Where can I find older results?
The Lotto Plus 1 results page keeps previous draws, and you can use the ticket checker there to compare your numbers with a past draw.
