About Daily Lotto
Daily Lotto is the only lottery of its kind in South Africa, with draws taking place every evening and also offering a jackpot that must be won in every draw. Find out more below about the newest lottery in ZA and how it’s taking regular lottery players by storm!
Daily Lotto Overview
Daily Lotto has become extremely popular thanks to its draws every evening and a jackpot that must be won every day, making it very different to the conventional Powerball and Lotto draws. Here is a quick overview of the main aspects of Daily Lotto:
- Draws take place every evening at 21:00
- Players have to choose five numbers from a pool of 36
- Draws are completely separate from normal Lotto draws and tickets must be purchased on their own
- Jackpot must be won in every draw—if nobody matches all five numbers then the jackpot amount is added to the next prize group and shared among all those winners
- Jackpots are not fixed amounts but are usually over R500,000
- Numbers are selected by a random number generator, just like all other ZA lotteries
- All prizes are a percentage of the prize fund, meaning they can rise or fall between draws, depending on the number of players who have bought tickets and those that have won

History
The first Daily Lotto draw took place on Sunday 10 March 2019, after the South African National Lottery Ithuba decided to introduce a new game where the top prize had to be won in every draw. There were no Match 5 winners in the first draw, so the 57 players who matched four numbers won R2,006 each. Since then, there have been thousands of draws, each awarding different prizes at each level due to prizes being paid out of a fund with a certain percentage for each level.
Everyone will have to wait and see if any changes are made to Daily Lotto, such as adding a supplementary draw like Lotto and Powerball before it, or if updates are made to the prizes or ticket price to try and encourage more players to sign up.
