How to Play: Options for Participation

The National Lottery offers several ways to participate in the Daily Lotto and Daily Lotto Plus draws. For in-store purchases, players can obtain a betslip from any lottery retailer, select five numbers between 1 and 36 (or opt for a ‘Quick Pick’ for randomly generated numbers), and pay for their ticket. Entries cost R3 each, with a maximum spend of R150 per board. Players can also choose to enter multiple consecutive draws, up to a maximum of 10. Remembering to sign the back of the ticket is crucial, as an unsigned ticket can be claimed by anyone who finds it.

Alternatively, players can participate online by creating an account and making a deposit on the National Lottery website here. The online process mirrors the in-store experience, allowing players to select numbers manually or use the ‘Quick Pick’ option.

Draw Timing and Guaranteed Jackpots

The Daily Lotto draws occur shortly after 8:30 PM each evening, with ticket sales closing at the same time. A key feature of the Daily Lotto is the guaranteed jackpot payout. Even if no one matches all five numbers, the jackpot prize money is distributed among those who correctly match two or more numbers. This ensures a winner every day, albeit potentially a shared prize.

Recent Daily Lotto Results – A Look Back

Recent results, as reported by ZA.LottoNumbers, show a fluctuating jackpot amount. On March 20th, 2026, the jackpot was R550,000 with 124,878 main draw winners. Prior to that, on March 19th, the jackpot was R450,000, with 99,645 winners. The March 17th draw saw a jackpot of R500,000 and 108,048 winners. These figures demonstrate the dynamic nature of the Daily Lotto, with varying jackpot amounts and winner counts.

Understanding the Daily Lotto Plus

The Daily Lotto Plus offers an additional opportunity to win, with a separate set of numbers drawn alongside the main Daily Lotto. The current jackpot for Daily Lotto Plus is R150,000. Like the main Daily Lotto, the Daily Lotto Plus also guarantees a payout, even if no one matches all five numbers. This increases the chances of winning some form of prize for players who participate in both draws.
