The Lotto, Lotto Plus 1, and Lotto 5 Max draws take place every Wednesday and Saturday on e.tv and SABC 2 at 21:00 (SA time)
Players buy tickets with their choice of six different numbers between 1 and 52.
There is provision for random numbers to be generated automatically for those who do not wish to choose, known as a Quick Pick.
In the draw, six numbered balls are drawn without replacement from a set of 52 balls numbered from 1 to 52.
Meanwhile, in a new feature, players can elect to pick one extra number at 7x the ticket price (called MP1).
Prizes are awarded to players who match at least three of the six drawn numbers, with prizes increasing for matching more of the drawn numbers.
All players who match all six drawn numbers win equal shares of the jackpot.
The chance of doing so is 1 in 20 358 520.
If four, five, or six balls are matched, the relevant prize is divided equally between all who match that many balls.
If no player matches all six numbers, the jackpot rolls over and is added to that of the next Lotto draw.
The entry fee to the Lotto draw is set at R5.00 per board.
Lotto Plus 1 is exactly the same as Lotto, but gives the player a second chance to win.
When buying a Lotto ticket, players can pay an extra R2.50 per board to enter the Lotto Plus 1 draw.
Odds are the same, while prizes are usually slightly lower.
Lotto 5 Max is exactly the same as Lotto, but gives the player a third chance to win.
When buying a Lotto ticket, players can pay an extra R2.50 per board to enter the Lotto 5 Max draw.
Odds are the same, while prizes are usually slightly lower.
Like the main Lotto, the top prize in Lotto 5 Max is won by matching all six drawn numbers.
However, a standout feature of Lotto 5 Max is its guaranteed payout approach.
If the jackpot is not won after a set number of consecutive draws, the prize money is not rolled over indefinitely – it is shared among players in lower winning tiers, giving back to the community of players.
