How to Participate in Daily Lotto

The Daily Lotto offers two ways to play: in-store or online. For in-store purchases, players 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 consecutive draws, up to a maximum of 10. It’s crucial to sign the back of the ticket to prevent unauthorized claims in case of loss.

Alternatively, players can participate online by creating an account and making a deposit on the National Lottery website. The National Lottery’s online platform allows players to select numbers or use the ‘Quick Pick’ option, choose the number of draws to enter, and confirm their entry.

Draw Times and Guaranteed Winners

The Daily Lotto draws are held shortly after 8:30 PM each evening, with ticket sales closing at the same time. A unique feature of the Daily Lotto is that the jackpot prize money is guaranteed to be awarded daily, even if no player matches all five numbers. In such instances, the jackpot is distributed among those who correctly match two or more numbers. This ensures a winner every day, providing consistent payouts to participants.
