For the upcoming 2 September 2025 draw, the hot numbers, those appearing most frequently in recent draws, include\u00a0<strong>13, 15, 20, 38, 42, and 49<\/strong>. These numbers have been drawn dozens of times over the past few months and often show up in winning combinations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Conversely, the cold numbers, those least drawn recently, include\u00a0<strong>1, 14, 26, 27, and 50<\/strong>.
