Jackpot update
The estimated jackpot for Daily Lotto stands at R400,000 for this draw. Players who opted for the add-on game are also competing for an estimated R150,000 Daily Lotto Plus jackpot.
Estimated jackpots are calculated based on projected ticket sales. If actual ticket sales exceed projections, the final jackpot payout may be higher than initially advertised.
How Daily Lotto works
Daily Lotto is a South African National Lottery game where players select 5 numbers from 1 to 36. Five numbers are then drawn from the same range. Matching all five numbers wins the jackpot. If the jackpot is not won, the top prize rolls down to the next winning division.
About Daily Lotto Plus
Daily Lotto Plus is an optional add-on game that uses the same numbers selected for the main Daily Lotto draw. It offers a second chance to win and runs as a separate draw. Players must first enter the Daily Lotto before adding the Plus option.
Estimated vs Guaranteed jackpots
An Estimated Jackpot reflects the expected top prize based on projected ticket sales and prize pool allocation. A Guaranteed Jackpot is a promotional minimum payout regardless of ticket sales. If ticket sales generate a larger prize pool than the guaranteed amount, the higher jackpot will always be paid out.
How to play
Players can choose their own numbers on a play slip or online, use Quick Pick for randomly generated selections, or ask a retailer to enter numbers directly into the terminal. Entries may also be purchased for multiple consecutive draws in advance.
