The UK’s most overdue lottery numbers have been revealed with the backing of expert insight and thorough analysis – will you pick them in the next draw?
Lottomart has offered some fascinating results after doing a deep dive into some in-depth data on lottery numbers, including the most overdue numbers and the ones that crop up the most. Based on the most up-to-date statistics the team at Lottomart analysed the National Lottery’s draws since October 2015 to identify the six most overdue lottery numbers.
Certain numbers tend to appear more frequently than others in lottery draws, with the team’s research finding that 37, 52, 39, 58, 27, and 42 are among the most commonly drawn numbers.

The number 37 is the most frequent, being picked out 115 times. However, it was last drawn 74 days ago on Saturday, September 7. The six most overdue numbers discovered during the study include:
Number 46: Last drawn 140 days ago on July 3, 2024, making it the longest missing number.
Number 24: This number hasn’t appeared in 137 days, with its last draw on July 6, 2024.
Number 40: It’s been 102 days since this number was drawn, last appearing on August 10, 2024.

Number 34: Last drawn 88 days ago on August 24, 2024, placing it among the recently overdue numbers.
Number 52: Missing for 81 days, this number last appeared on August 31, 2024.
Number 15: It has been 77 days since its last draw, which occurred on September 4, 2024.
Keep in mind, though, that past appearances of a number have no effect on when it might show up again. Each lottery draw is entirely independent, with randomised machines and sets of balls ensuring that no past result can influence future outcomes. But if you’re thinking about mixing up your number choices, this list might offer some inspiration.
