What is Daily Lotto and Daily Lotto Plus
Daily Lotto is a South African National Lottery game where players select five numbers from 1 to 36. The system draws five numbers from the same range using a certified Random Number Generator (RNG). The jackpot is won by matching all five numbers drawn. If there is no jackpot winner, the amount rolls down to the Match 4 prize division.
Daily Lotto Plus is an optional add-on game that gives players a second chance to win using the same numbers selected in the main Daily Lotto draw. It can only be entered once Daily Lotto has been played and has its own separate draw and prize pool.
How to Play
- Choose your own 5 numbers from 1 to 36 on a play slip or online.
- Use Quick Pick to let the system randomly generate numbers.
- Ask a retailer to enter your selected numbers directly into the terminal (up to 20 boards/lines).
- Select advance play for up to 10 consecutive draws.
Remember, you must first play Daily Lotto before selecting the Daily Lotto Plus option. Each game has its own separate draw and prize distribution structure.
What is a Random Number Generator (RNG)
The Random Number Generator (RNG) is a specialised computerised system designed to generate random and unpredictable combinations of winning numbers. It operates independently from the Central Gaming System (CGS) and cannot be influenced by player selections or ticket purchases.
The RNG process is rigorously tested, certified, and regularly audited by independent third-party bodies. The National Lotteries Commission (NLC) oversees operations to ensure every draw is conducted transparently, fairly, and securely.
Official draw confirmation and prize verification are available on the National Lottery official website .
