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 the jackpot is not won, the prize rolls down to the Match 4 division.
Daily Lotto Plus is an optional add-on game that gives players a second chance to win using the same numbers played in the main Daily Lotto draw. It can only be entered after playing Daily Lotto and has its own separate draw and prize allocation.
