Lotto Draws Every Wednesday & Saturday: Here's How to Play & Win

The Lotto draws, including Lotto Plus 1 and Lotto Plus 2, occur every Wednesday and Saturday at 20:56 on SABC 2. Led by CEO Charmaine Mabuza, Ithuba Holdings manages these games, offering South Africans aged 18 and above a chance to win big.

Each Lotto board costs R5.00, with an additional R2.50 per board for Lotto Plus 1 and Lotto Plus 2. Players select six different numbers between 1 and 52 for the Lotto jackpot draw. A Bonus Ball is also drawn, benefiting those who match five numbers. Tickets can be purchased from various outlets, the official website, mobile app, participating banks, or via USSD.

Prizes are awarded to those matching at least three numbers. If no one matches all six, the jackpot rolls over to the next draw. To verify winning numbers, players should visit the National Lottery website.

The Lotto draws, with their affordable entry fees and multiple chances to win, continue to attract South Africans. With Ithuba Holdings' leadership, the lottery remains a popular and accessible form of entertainment and fundraising.
