Daily Lotto (South Africa) in a nutshell
Daily Lotto is South Africa’s everyday lottery, drawn every evening at 21:00 by the National Lottery operator Sizekhaya Holdings. A single play costs R3, and players pick five numbers from 1 to 36. There is no bonus ball and no add-on: match all five and you share the jackpot, which is pari-mutuel and depends on ticket sales. With odds of one in 376,992, Daily Lotto has by far the best jackpot odds of South Africa’s games, and prizes are tax-free.
How to play Daily Lotto (South Africa)
- Choose five different numbers from 1–36, or let a Quick Pick choose them for you.
- Wait for the draw and compare your line with the winning numbers; the order does not matter.
- The top prize needs all five main numbers; smaller combinations win lower prizes set by the operator.
