Dream numbers
Dream numbers, and what the draws actually did
In South Africa a dream is often read for a number, then played as a Lucky Numbers bet. This page lists what the recorded tradition assigns to 11 common dreams, and then does something no dream guide does: it shows how often that number has really come up in the UK49s draws.
Fafi numbers are an oral tradition with regional variation, and published lists disagree with each other. A number is shown here only where our source records one. Every 49s draw is independent. These figures describe what has already happened and cannot change what happens next.
