UK49s Results Today: Lunchtime and Teatime Draws

Today's UK49s results for both daily draws, Lunchtime and Teatime, are shown below: the latest numbers first, then the earlier draws. Lunchtime is drawn at 12:49 and Teatime at 17:49 UK time, which is 14:49 and 19:49 in South Africa while the UK is on winter time. Each draw gives six main numbers from 1 to 49 and a seventh number shown separately.

Both blocks are filled from 49's, the official publisher, and refresh after each draw. If one is missing, its data is more than three days old and has been hidden rather than shown as today's. Each draw also has its own page: UK49s Lunchtime results and UK49s Teatime results.

UK49s draw times in South African time

SIS, the company that produces the 49's, publishes the draw times in UK time. South Africa stays on SAST (UTC+2) all year, while the UK switches between Greenwich Mean Time in winter and British Summer Time from the last Sunday of March to the last Sunday of October. So the local time of the same draw moves by an hour twice a year.

In practice: from late October to late March, Lunchtime results are out shortly after 14:49 and Teatime results shortly after 19:49 in Johannesburg or Cape Town. From late March to late October, take an hour off both. A result can take a few minutes to appear on results pages after the draw itself.

Our draw times come from SIS itself rather than from results aggregators, so if a site you use shows a different time, check it against 49s.co.uk.

Brunchtime and Drivetime

In January 2026 SIS added two more 49's draws for the global market: Brunchtime at 11:49 and Drivetime at 16:49 UK time. They are separate draws with their own numbers. When someone shares "the 49s", it is worth asking which of the four they mean; our feed follows the two classic draws, Lunchtime and Teatime.

How the UK49s draw works

The 49's is a numbers draw produced by SIS in its UK studios. In each draw six main numbers come out of a pool of 1 to 49, followed by a seventh number. Our results show the six in ascending order and the seventh separately, because it plays a different role in many bets on the draw. You will often see it called the Booster ball.

There is no 49's ticket on sale in South Africa. People here meet it almost only through bookmakers' lucky numbers markets, which pay fixed odds on how many chosen numbers appear. That is why the same draw can be "with Booster" on one slip and "without" on another: the bookmaker's market rules decide, not the draw.

Lunchtime vs Teatime: two separate draws

Lunchtime and Teatime share a name and a format, and nothing else. They are independent draws a few hours apart, so a number drawn at Lunchtime is no more and no less likely to appear at Teatime. Mixing them up is the most common mistake when people check numbers.

Checking your numbers against UK49s results

Whether you keep a favourite set of numbers or want to check an old line, the process is the same. Take it slowly: most "near misses" turn out to be a Lunchtime line checked against Teatime, or the seventh ball counted as a main number.

The checker does the same in your browser. Choose Lunchtime or Teatime, type your numbers and it shows how many match in each recent draw in the feed, with the seventh ball counted separately.

UK49s results history

Each block above keeps the latest draw and up to ten earlier ones, which covers up to the last eleven days of each draw. That is enough to check a recent line or settle a question about last week. For a longer UK49s history, such as a full year of draws or results from 2018, the official archive at 49s.co.uk is the source to use.

History has two honest uses: checking what was drawn on a given day, and counting how often each number appeared. It has no use for forecasting. A number that appeared five times last month has exactly the same chance as any other in the next draw.

A little arithmetic shows why short histories mislead. Ten draws produce 60 main numbers from a pool of only 49, so some numbers are bound to appear two or three times and others not at all, purely by chance. Look at the next ten draws and a different set of numbers will look "hot". The pattern is in the size of the sample, not in the balls, which is why we label every frequency count as history and nothing more.

Why UK49s numbers sometimes differ between sites

Every bookmaker, app and results site that shows UK49s numbers is copying the same two draws. There is no separate bookmaker result or app result, whatever brand name a search adds: a bookmaker settles its markets on the official draw, and a results site repeats it. When two sources disagree, one of them is wrong, and the usual causes are simple.

• Wrong draw. A Lunchtime result posted under Teatime, or a Brunchtime or Drivetime result taken for one of the classic draws.
• Wrong date. Yesterday's numbers still at the top of a page that has not refreshed.
• Typing errors. Numbers retyped by hand into a post or a WhatsApp message.
• Edited screenshots. Images are easy to change and are often used to sell "predictions".

Our blocks avoid the first two problems by showing the draw name and date on every row and by hiding themselves when the data is stale. For the last word, 49s.co.uk is the official publisher.

UK49s questions people search for

Most UK49s searches from South Africa come down to a handful of questions. Here is where each one is answered.

UK49s predictions, Facebook groups and paid tips

Search for UK49s and you will meet pages promising "today's predictions", three "banker" numbers or a 100% accurate system, often in Facebook and WhatsApp groups that charge for them. None of them can know the numbers before the draw. If anyone could, they would have no reason to sell the answer for a voucher.

Our UK49s hot and cold numbers page shows what past draws can honestly tell you: a frequency count from the live feed, with a plain statement that draws are random and no prediction improves the odds.

About UK49s live draws

Searches for a UK49s live draw usually lead to unofficial streams and replays. A replay or a screenshot shared on social media is not the result: the published result on 49s.co.uk is. Unofficial streams are also a common route to prediction sellers.

UK49s lucky numbers and South African law

UK49s is drawn in the UK, and there is no UK49s ticket on sale in South Africa. Locally, the draw is met as "lucky numbers": fixed-odds bets offered by some bookmakers on which numbers the draw will produce. The Lotteries Act, section 57(2)(g), makes it an offence to offer betting on any outcome of any lottery unless another law authorises it, and a High Court applied it to a South African operator in 2021. Whether provincial bookmaker licences provide that authorisation for foreign draws such as the 49's is contested and has not been decided. This page therefore publishes results and explains the draw; it does not recommend where or how to bet. Background is on our lucky numbers page.

Two draws a day: keeping it in proportion

The 49's draws daily, and with Lunchtime and Teatime, plus the newer draws, there is always another one a few hours away. That rhythm is exactly what makes small amounts add up. Only adults may gamble: you must be 18 or older. Set a weekly limit you can afford to lose and stop when it is spent, and if checking results has become something you feel you have to do, our responsible gambling page lists confidential help, including the National Responsible Gambling Programme on 0800 006 008, 24 hours a day.
