The industry experts have analysed results from all previous Lotto games to find out the most – and least – common to come up.
Based on a total of 2,868 draws across nearly 30 years, 39 is the most common winning Lotto number statistically, being picked as a winning number 367 times since records began.
Others numbers that have come up a lot include 23 (361 times), 27 (359 times), 40 (359 times), 38 (358 times) and 33 (355 times).
Meanwhile, you may not want to pick out 53 as one of your numbers, as this is apparently the 53 the least common number, being picked only 75 times since 1994.
Other ones to maybe avoid are 55 (77 times), 50 (79 times), 59 (82 times), 57 (84 times) and 51(84 times).
Despite Lotto being one of the most popular National Lotteries in the UK, the odds of winning any prize are some of the highest.

There is a 1 in 9.3 chance of winning any prize, with the odds of matching two numbers at a 1 in 10.3 chance all way up to the jackpot chance of 1 in 45,057,454.
Commenting on the findings, a spokesperson for WDW Bingo said: “While the National Lottery is played by millions across the UK and, in some cases, Europe, it’s expected that some people may question the ‘randomness’ of the pickings.
"However, it’s fascinating to see that the most commonly winning numbers are so diversified across a 30-year period, breaking down myths and conspiracies about the system for some.”
