How the South African Lottery Games Work
Daily Lotto: Choose five numbers from 1 to 36. All five numbers must match the drawn numbers to win the jackpot. Draws occur every evening.
Lotto: Pick six numbers from 1 to 52. To win the jackpot, all six numbers must match the drawn numbers. Includes two additional games: Lotto Plus 1 and Lotto Plus 2, which use the same numbers for separate draws.
Lotto Plus 1 and Lotto Plus 2: These are additional draws for players who opt-in when purchasing Lotto tickets. If you don’t win the main Lotto draw, your numbers still stand a chance in these subsequent draws.
Powerball: Choose five numbers from 1 to 50, plus one PowerBall number from 1 to 20. To win the jackpot, all five numbers and the PowerBall must match. Draws occur twice a week.
Powerball Plus: An additional draw for Powerball players who opt-in. Uses the same numbers as your Powerball ticket for another chance to win.
