How to play Daily Lotto
Players choose five numbers from 1 to 36 on a bet slip or use Quick Pick for a random selection.
A standard Daily Lotto board costs R3, and the game does not have a Bonus Ball.
The Daily Lotto draw takes place every evening, giving players a chance to enter each day. Tickets are available through authorised National Lottery retailers, participating banking apps and the official National Lottery website.
Daily Lotto Plus has been discontinued under the new operating framework, while the standard R3 game continues unchanged.
Players should write their name and ID number on the back of their ticket when purchasing it. This helps protect their claim if they win a larger prize.
