Meet LottoBase! A new informed way of selecting National Lottery numbers
LottoBase Team · 7 min read
UK lottery play has always been a mixture of fun, routine, and sheer luck. LottoBase gives you structure and insight without pretending to predict the future.
What is LottoBase?
LottoBase is an app created for UK lottery players who want an informed, more organised experience. It stores your tickets, scans paper slips, tracks draws, and gives you access to historical ball statistics so you can make informed decisions rather than picking blind.
It runs on a modern stack (React Native + Supabase), meaning near-real-time draw results, reliable authentication, and your data synced wherever you go.
Why LottoBase exists
Most lottery players quietly lose track of:
- Paper tickets
- Draw dates with large jackpots
- Whether a ticket has won
- How many “favourite” numbers they reuse
- Which games offer the biggest prize this week
Some simply forget to check — and millions in prizes expire every year that way.
LottoBase fixes the administration side of playing the lottery. It also provides tools to cut through superstition and highlight factual patterns in historical draws.
No mysticism. No predictions. Just data, clarity, and convenience.
What LottoBase does
- Scans UK lottery tickets
- Stores and organises tickets (online subscriptions + scanned retail tickets)
- Highlights winning lines and prize amounts
- Shows trending / overdue balls
- Heatmaps of ball and win frequency
- Historical results for Lotto, EuroMillions, Set For Life and Thunderball
- Number-selection tools with smart filters
- Notifications for draw nights, jackpots, wins, and claim deadlines
- Supports virtual “draft” tickets you can adjust freely
What LottoBase does NOT do
This matters.
- It does not allow the purchase of lottery tickets (do so as usual with official lottery providers)
- It does not predict future numbers.
- It does not guarantee an advantage.
- It does not claim improved odds.
- It does not claim to “beat” the lottery.
- It does not sell forecasts or miracle patterns.
Lotteries are random processes. Anyone who claims they can predict the future winning line is either lying or deluded.
LottoBase exists to help you:
- Understand historical patterns
- Make reasoned personal choices
- Avoid missing wins
- Manage tickets cleanly
- Enjoy the process
Nothing more. Nothing less.
Why this is not snake oil
You’ll see plenty of sites promising “guaranteed picks” or “algorithms that outperform randomness”. It’s fantasy. If people could reliably predict lottery results, they’d quietly collect the jackpots and stop talking.
What LottoBase does is far more grounded:
It shows you which balls have appeared more frequently than others within the natural randomness of the system. True randomness exhibits clustering — that’s statistics, not mysticism. Some numbers will appear more often than others, sometimes for long stretches.
LottoBase surfaces that information and lets you decide how to use it.
You can:
- Focus on overdue numbers
- Chase “hot” streaks
- Balance your lines
- Ignore the stats completely
Your call.
We provide tools so you can build your own strategy — rational or whimsical — without false promises.
Understanding “Trending” and “Overdue”
In a perfect long-term random process, all balls would appear equally. In reality, randomness has streaks and bias clusters. LottoBase makes these deviations visible so you can explore them.
You might notice:
- Some balls show up more often over a given period
- Others haven’t appeared in months
- Certain lines (combinations) have historically won more prizes
This information doesn’t predict anything — it simply describes the past. Whether you want to lean into streaks or try to catch overdue numbers is up to you.
A practical way people use LottoBase
Some players like building lines manually using the historical stats.
Others use a different approach:
They simply generate random lines repeatedly and find the best combinations that have historically won more prizes, then save those lines to their draft tickets to play online. It’s a quick and easy strategy (and quite addictive!)
A good tip here is to use the Previous Wins Heatmap to find consistant wins, rather than clumps and gaps, over the 12 month time period.
Again, the point is informed play, not prediction.
