Daily Lotto and Daily Lotto Plus Results for March 12, 2026: R600,000 Jackpot Up For Grabs

South Africa’s Daily Lotto and Daily Lotto Plus draws took place on Thursday, March 12, 2026, with a combined jackpot of R600,000 available to winners. The Citizen reported the results shortly after 8:30 pm, providing an opportunity for players to check their tickets. The Daily Lotto jackpot stood at an estimated R450,000, while the Daily Lotto Plus offered R150,000.

The winning numbers for the Daily Lotto were 08, 10, 25, 33, and 35. For those participating in the Daily Lotto Plus, the winning numbers were 07, 12, 14, 23, and 25. Players are encouraged to verify their tickets against these numbers, and the National Lottery website (https://www.nationallottery.co.za/results/daily-lotto) offers further details and official confirmation.

How the Daily Lotto Works

The Daily Lotto offers a relatively low-cost entry point for lottery players in South Africa. Tickets cost R3 each, with a maximum spend of R150 per board. Players can select five numbers between 1 and 36, or opt for a ‘Quick Pick’ which randomly generates numbers. Entries can be submitted for up to 10 consecutive draws, or for a single draw. The draw itself occurs shortly after 8:30 pm each evening, with ticket sales closing at that time.

For those preferring to play online, the National Lottery provides an account-based system. Players can deposit funds into their account and select numbers digitally, mirroring the in-store process. A lottery account is required to participate online.

Jackpot Distribution and Guaranteed Winners

A notable feature of the Daily Lotto is its guaranteed jackpot payout. Even if no player matches all five numbers, the jackpot prize money is distributed among those who correctly match two or more numbers. This ensures that the R450,000 (Daily Lotto) and R150,000 (Daily Lotto Plus) are awarded to players every evening. This differs from some other lotteries where unclaimed jackpots roll over to subsequent draws.

Playing in Store vs. Online: A Comparison

The method of playing – in-store or online – presents slightly different logistical considerations. In-store purchases require a physical betslip and a visit to a lottery retailer. This method necessitates remembering to sign the back of the ticket to prevent unauthorized claims in case of loss. Online play, while convenient, requires establishing and funding an online account. Both methods offer the same odds of winning and access to the same jackpots.
