How to play the LOTTO

SA LOTTO tickets can be purchased in a variety of ways. The SA LOTTO offers players multimillion-rand jackpots which can be won every Wednesday and Saturday. Each draw features eight prize divisions and draws take place at 20h56 South African Standard Time (SAST). SA LOTTO tickets can be purchased by players who are 18-years of age or older and must be purchased before 20h30 on draw days.

Through a Retailer

Players can get a betslip from any participating lottery store and follow the following steps:

1. Mark the box provided for LOTTO PLUS 1 at the top of the betslip should the player wish to play this additional game.
2. Mark the box provided for LOTTO PLUS 2 at the top of the betslip should the player also wish to play this game.
3. The player can then choose any six numbers from 1 to 52. Players have the options of doing this on as many boards that they want to play.
4. Alternatively, players can mark the Quick Pick option to receive a selection of random numbers.
5. Players must indicate the number of draws that they wish to play by marking a number which is indicated at the top of the betslip. It is not necessary to mark this area should the player only wish to enter a single draw.
6. Lastly, the player can pay the cashier for the entries and keep their ticket safe.
7. Players are advised to complete the back of their ticket, sign it, and keep it safe to ensure that, should they win a prize, the ticket cannot be claimed by anyone else who might have picked a lost ticket or stolen it.

Online Providers

There are numerous online providers that offer entry into the LOTTO. In order to purchase tickets online, players can follow these few steps:

1. Register for an account online, or sign into the provider site should the player already have registered an account.
2. Pick six numbers between 1 to 52 or make use of the Quick Pick option to fill the ticket with a random selection of six numbers.
3. The player can select the option to play LOTTO PLUS 1 and/or 2 if they wish to enter these additional games. In order to play LOTTO PLUS 2, players must play LOTTO PLUS 1 as well.
4. Players can select the number of draws that they wish to enter. Players also have the option of paying for an ongoing subscription.
5. Confirm the tickets and pay for the entries either by depositing money into the online account or making use of available funds on the player’s account.

Through a bank

The SA LOTTO can also be played through various banks that make provision for the service either on online banking, or more conveniently, the banking apps provided. The process involved in purchasing tickets is similar to that of purchasing from online providers and banks offer a separate section dedicated to LOTTO as well as PowerBall.
