About South Africa Lotto Plus 1

South Africa Lotto Plus 1 is one of South Africa's best-known lotteries, followed by players around the world for its large jackpots and regular draws. To take part you choose 6 main numbers from 1 to 52. Match all of them and you win the jackpot, which currently stands at an estimated R16 Million. A bonus ball is also drawn from the main pool — you don't pick it, but matching it with one of your own numbers boosts a middle prize tier.

Lower prize tiers are awarded for matching fewer numbers, so there are several ways to win in every draw. The odds of landing the top prize are around 1 in 20,358,520, and the full prize breakdown for each draw is shown on this page.
