    How the number checker works

    Enter the numbers you played into the fields above (or paste them into the quick-entry box), select the draw you entered them for, and hit Check Numbers. The tool compares your picks against the last 30 published results for that draw and highlights every match.

    Matching numbers are shown as highlighted balls. If a draw had a Bonus ball or PowerBall and your numbers include it, that match is counted separately.

    Below the match list, each of your numbers also gets a frequency summary: how many times it appeared in the sample, when it last appeared, and a hot/cold classification. These are historical statistics, not predictions — every draw is independent and every ball has the same chance of being drawn.

    Which draws can I check?

    The checker supports the most popular lottery draws in South Africa:

    • UK 49s Teatime and Lunchtime — 6 numbers from 1–49 plus a Booster ball.
    • SA Lotto — 6 numbers from 1–52 plus a Bonus ball.
    • PowerBall — 5 numbers from 1–50 plus 1 PowerBall from 1–20.
    • Daily Lotto — 5 numbers from 1–36.

    See the full results for each draw on their dedicated pages: Teatime, Lunchtime, SA Lotto, PowerBall, Daily Lotto. For UK 49s numbers you can also explore each number's full history on its number page (e.g. teatime number 27).

    Tips for using the checker

    1. Check after every draw. Results update automatically as new draws are published, so run the checker regularly to stay on top of your tickets.
    2. Match against the right draw. Make sure you select the draw you actually played — Teatime picks don't count against Lunchtime results, and vice versa.
    3. Use it as a log. Screenshot your results to build a personal win/loss record over time. This helps you track spending and play within your budget.
