See the Biggest Winners page for more information.
Prizes and Odds of Winning
The Lotto Plus 2 jackpot can roll over indefinitely, meaning there’s no limit to how high it can go. Prizes start from R15 for matching just two main numbers and the Bonus. The table below shows all the prizes you can win playing Lotto Plus 2, as well as the odds of winning:
| Prize Division | Numbers Matched | Odds of Winning* | Percentage of Prize Pool | Average Prizefor the past 365 days’ draws |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 6 | 1 in 20,358,520 | 53.0% | R9,186,624.27 |
| 2 | 5 + Bonus Ball | 1 in 3,393,087 | 8.1% | R52,873.72 |
| 3 | 5 | 1 in 75,402 | 5.4% | R4,044.15 |
| 4 | 4 + Bonus Ball | 1 in 30,161 | 6.7% | R1,910.58 |

| 6 | 3 + Bonus Ball | 1 in 1,028 | 13.4% | R114.45 |
| 7 | 3 | 1 in 72 | R25 | R25.00 |
| 8 | 2 + Bonus Ball | 1 in 96 | R15 | R15.00 |
The two lowest prizes are fixed, so they stay the same for every draw. The remaining prizes are based on how many tickets are sold and how many winners there are, so they change from draw to draw.
Each of the top six prize divisions receives a percentage of the overall prize fund, as shown in the table above, and that money is then split between all winners in that division. The table also shows an average prize amount – calculated from prizes paid out in the last 365 days – so you can see roughly how much you can expect to win. Please note that prize amounts may vary from those shown here.

What is Lotto Plus?
Lotto Plus is the name given to two extra lottery games that are played along with the main Lotto draw. Entry is optional but comes at an additional cost, and you can choose to play both Plus draws or just Lotto Plus 1. You must enter the main Lotto draw to play Lotto Plus, and you cannot play Lotto Plus 2 without also playing Plus 1.
If you do enter, you use the numbers you chose for the main draw to play these extra games. The rules are otherwise the same; match your numbers with the winning line to win prizes, with bigger prizes awarded for matching more numbers.
The jackpots can grow to tens of millions of rand but the best thing for players is that each game uses its own set of winning numbers. That means you don’t have to give up hope if you don’t win in the main Lotto draw, as you have two more chances to win.
Playing Lotto and Lotto Plus
All you need to do to play is mark the box for one or both Lotto Plus games on your betslip. The numbers you choose for the main draw will then be entered into whichever Plus draw(s) you decide to play.
Lotto Betslip with Lotto Plus 1 and Lotto Plus 2 boxes
Both additional games cost an extra R2.50 each, so you would pay a total of R10 to enter all three draws (Lotto and Lotto Plus 1 and 2). Remember that you can’t play Lotto Plus on its own. You must pay for an entry to the main draw to be able to enter these additional games.
If you mark one or both of the Lotto Plus boxes on your betslip, it applies to all boards and all draws that you enter with that slip. For example, if you mark the Plus 1 box and choose numbers on four boards, you will also have four entries into Lotto Plus 1. Similarly, if you mark both Plus boxes and enter 10 draws in advance, you will be playing both Lotto Plus games for all 10 draws. Remember that it’s not a one-off payment to enter; you pay for every board you play.
Prizes and Odds of Winning
Lotto Plus 1 does not have a jackpot cap, so there’s no limit to how much you could win. Prizes start at a fixed R15 for matching two numbers; match all six and you win the jackpot. Find out more using the table below:
| Prize Division | Numbers Matched | Odds of Winning* | Percentage of Prize Pool | Average Prizefor the past 365 days’ draws |

The top six prizes in Lotto Plus 1 can change from draw to draw. They receive a certain percentage of the total prize fund, as shown in the table, and that money is then split between the winners in each division.
The lowest two prizes are fixed amounts and stay the same for every draw. The money needed to pay these fixed prizes is deducted from the prize fund before the rest of the money is split between the other prizes.
