Lucky Numbers Results: UK49s, Gosloto, Irish Lotto and France Loto

Lucky numbers results for today are in the block below: the latest UK49s Lunchtime and Teatime draws, Gosloto 6/45, 7/49 and 5/36, Irish Lotto and France Loto, each with the date of the draw. Lucky numbers is the South African name for these foreign draws, which local readers follow because some bookmakers offer fixed-odds bets on them. Every game also has its own results page with the ten draws before the latest one.

The block refreshes from the official result publishers: 49's for UK49s, Stoloto for Gosloto, the Irish National Lottery and FDJ in France. If a game is missing, its newest result is more than three days old and has been hidden rather than shown as current.

Lucky numbers results by game

Each draw has a page of its own with a longer results table, a number checker and an explanation of how the draw works. Pick the game you follow:

The six games are not alike. They differ in how many numbers are drawn, how big the pool is, whether an extra ball is published and how often the draw takes place. The table below sums up what we could confirm from the organisers themselves and from the results feed; where an organiser's page could not be read, we point to it instead of guessing.

Lucky numbers draw times in South African time

Results reach South Africa at different times of day, and two of the organisers change their clocks while South Africa does not. SAST stays on UTC+2 all year. The UK and France move their clocks forward on the last Sunday of March and back on the last Sunday of October, so the UK is one hour behind South Africa in its summer and two hours behind in its winter, while France is on the same time as South Africa in its summer and one hour behind in its winter.

The UK times come from SIS, the company that produces the 49's draws in its UK studios. Since January 2026 SIS also runs two newer 49's draws, Brunchtime at 11:49 and Drivetime at 16:49 UK time; our feed follows the two classic draws, Lunchtime and Teatime. The France Loto days and time come from FDJ's own rules page.

How to read and check a lucky numbers result

Most mistakes with lucky numbers are not about the numbers themselves but about which draw they belong to. Lunchtime and Teatime are separate draws on the same day; Gosloto runs three formats with many draws a day between them; Irish Lotto and France Loto have an extra number that is not one of the main balls. Four checks settle almost every question.

The checker below does the comparing for you. Choose the game, type the numbers from one line and it shows how many match in each recent draw in the feed. It only counts matches: it does not say what a match is worth, because this site publishes results, not bets or prizes.

When today's lucky numbers results come out

The most common question is simply "are today's numbers out yet?". The answer depends on the draw and the season, and the results block above shows the date of every result, so a quick look settles it. As a rule of thumb for the South African summer, when the UK and France are on winter time:

• Before about 14:50: the newest UK49s rows are yesterday's. Gosloto results will already be from today, because its draws run through the day.
• From about 14:50: today's UK49s Lunchtime result, once 49's has published it.
• From about 19:50: today's UK49s Teatime result.
• From about 21:20 on Monday, Wednesday and Saturday: the new France Loto result.
• Irish Lotto: on the draw days published by lottery.ie, in the evening.

From late March to late October, take an hour off the UK and French times. Results need a few minutes after the draw to appear on any results page, including this one. If a result is more than three days old, the block hides that game rather than show it as current.

Official sources for each lucky numbers draw

A results page like this one is a convenience copy. Dozens of sites, apps and WhatsApp groups repost lucky numbers, sometimes late and sometimes with a typing error, and a screenshot is easy to edit. When it matters, go to the organiser.

The same source is named under every results table on this site, with the time the feed was last updated. If our numbers and the organiser's ever differ, trust the organiser and tell us through the contact page so we can correct the feed.

Lucky numbers and the South African National Lottery

Lucky numbers are not part of the National Lottery. Lotto, PowerBall and Daily Lotto are South African lotteries regulated by the National Lotteries Commission under the Lotteries Act and run, since 1 June 2026, by Sizekhaya. You buy a ticket from the operator, and prizes come from the game's prize pool. Their results are on our South African Lotto results pages.

A lucky numbers result is the outcome of a foreign draw. Nobody in South Africa sells tickets for UK49s, Gosloto, Irish Lotto or France Loto. What exists locally are bets on those results, and that is a different thing in law.

Is betting on lucky numbers legal in South Africa?

This is the honest answer: nobody can give a settled one. When a South African bookmaker offers lucky numbers, it is taking fixed-odds bets on which balls a foreign draw will produce. It is not selling a lottery ticket.

Because the question is open, these pages publish results and explain the draws only. We do not rank, review or link anyone for lucky numbers, and we do not say where to place such bets. If you already hold a bookmaker account, its terms govern how a lucky numbers bet is settled, and complaints go to the bookmaker first and then to the provincial gambling board that licenses it.

Booster ball, bonus ball and the Chance number

Searches such as "booster ball for today" or "today's bonus ball" are looking for the extra number a draw publishes alongside its main balls. Each game handles it differently, which is why our results always show it separately, after a plus sign.

Why lucky number predictions do not work

Star sign pages offer a lucky number for the day, apps promise "my lucky numbers for today" and social media groups sell "banker" numbers before every draw. None of them changes anything. A draw has no memory: the number that came up three times this week is exactly as likely as any other in the next draw, and the one that has not appeared for a month is not due.

What past results can show is frequency: how often each number appeared in a window of draws. That is history, and in small windows it is mostly noise. Our UK49s hot and cold numbers page counts it from the live feed and explains why it is no forecast.

Lucky numbers apps and results on your phone

Many people search for a lucky numbers app or a "results today" app. You do not need one to follow these draws: this page and each game's page work on a phone browser, show the date of every result and hide stale ones. If you do install an app, be careful. Unofficial results apps often exist to sell predictions, ask for permissions they do not need or push you towards betting. Prefer the organisers' own sites, and never give an app your ID number, banking details or a one-time PIN.

Tax on lucky numbers winnings

Because no lucky numbers ticket is sold in South Africa, there is no lottery prize to claim here from UK49s, Gosloto, Irish Lotto or France Loto. What some people receive is a payout on a bet, which is a matter between them and the bookmaker. On tax, there is no simple rule we can confirm from SARS itself: guidance from tax firms is that occasional winnings are generally not taxed while professional gamblers can be, and the 15% withholding tax on winnings proposed in 2011 was never introduced. If the amounts matter to you, check with SARS or a tax practitioner. Our guide to tax on betting winnings explains what is known.

Mega Millions and other draws not in our feed

Many South Africans also look up Mega Millions, EuroMillions or the Irish Daily Million. These are separate games with their own results, and they are not part of our feed. For them, use the official site of the lottery that runs each one: those are the only sources to rely on for winning numbers and jackpot amounts, and copies on social media are a common source of mistakes.

Keeping lucky numbers a pastime

Two UK49s draws a day, plus Gosloto draws around the clock, make it easy to spend more often than you notice. Lottery play and betting are for adults only: no person under the age of 18 may gamble or buy a lottery ticket in South Africa. Decide a weekly amount you can afford to lose and stop when it is spent; checking results more and more often is an early sign that a habit is growing.
