SA LOTTO The National lottery was introduced to South Africa on 11 March 2000. A player can select their own numbers or choose the Quick Pick option which provides the player with a selection of randomly generated numbers. In order to win the jackpot, a player must successfully match all five main numbers and the Powerball. Unlike other lotto games which use a ball from the secondary pool as a ‘Bonus Ball’, the secondary number - or Powerball – is an integral part of the game.

Winning tickets are valid for 365 days after the draw and prizes are paid out as a tax-free lump sum. If the jackpot is not won then the funds will continue to roll over until there is a jackpot winner. one or two draws per week for up to five weeks.
