How to choose Lucky Numbers draws in South Africa

With so many Lucky Numbers draws to choose from daily, it's hard to know which game is the right one for you. You may prefer lotteries with a smaller number range that are easier to win, or you might like to take your chances on a draw with a smaller chance of success but a huge payout!

The best part about playing Lucky Numbers online in South Africa is that you can make winning as easy or hard as you like. With the ability to choose how many numbers you want to play and betting markets available like Over/Under and Odd/Even at very low odds, playing Lucky Numbers on Betway or Hollywoodbets is by far the best way to win!

To help decide which lotteries you want to bet on, we've listed below our favourite Lucky Numbers games from South Africa and abroad:

South African Lotto

Wednesday, Saturday (9 pm)

This is the original national lottery of South Africa managed by Ithuba, which we all know and love! In this twice-weekly draw, there are a total of 52 balls. You can predict as few as 1 or as many as 5 numbers to be drawn from the drum at variable odds. The more numbers you choose to predict in the draw, the higher your payout will be if you win! 

Betting options for the SA Lotto on Betway include markets with or without the bonus ball. You can also place individual bets on the bonus ball (excluding the other numbers). Lastly, there are Draw Sum bets which involve making predictions about the total sum of the balls drawn when they are all added together (Odd/Even, Over/Under, Single Digit, etc).

South African Daily Lotto

Daily (9 pm)

For punters who like to play often and don't want to wait too long for the next draw, the SA Daily Lotto is the answer. This SA Lotto game is easier than most to win because there are only 36 balls in the drum. Your chances of winning are better but the odds on offer are a bit smaller too.

When playing the SA Daily Lotto online with a bookmaker like Gbets, you can choose to bet on 1 number, 2 numbers, 3 numbers or 4 numbers. In addition to the regular draw, you can also bet on the Draw Sum with markets including Odd/Even and Over/Under available at some bookmakers.

SA Powerball

Tuesday, Friday (9 pm)

The SA Powerball is another exciting homegrown lottery game that happens twice a week, every Tuesday and Friday evening. This lottery works much the same way as the Daily Lotto, except it includes a Powerball (Bonus Ball) to spice things up!

The Bonus Ball is within a range of 1 and 20 and is something you can choose to include in your bets. If you Read more about how to bet on the SA Powerball.

UK 49s

Daily (2:30 pm & 7:30 pm)

What makes the UK 49s draw so popular among punters in South Africa is that it takes place twice per day, 7 days a week. The first draw of the day is called the UK 49s teatime draw and the second—which actually takes place in the evening (SA time)—is the UK 49s lunchtime draw.

In both of the daily UK 49s draws, 5 numbers (plus a bonus ball) are drawn from a drum of 49 balls. When playing the UK 49s in South Africa, you can Read more about how to bet on the UK 49s.

Russia Gosloto (5/36 Draw)

Daily (Every 30 minutes)

With 48 draws every day, the Russia Gosloto 5/36 is one of the most popular lotteries among punters in South Africa. Even if this is the only Lucky Numbers game you ever play, you'll have more than enough betting opportunities to last a lifetime! 

How the Russia Gosloto 5/36 works is that 5 balls are drawn from the drum and you must Read more about how to bet on the Russia Gosloto.

Greece Powerball

Tuesday, Thursday, Sunday (10pm)

In this European lottery game, five numbered balls are drawn from a total of 45 in the drum, in addition to a bonus ball or "Powerball" number. To play the Greece Powerball, you must bet on between 1 and 4 numbers which can also include the bonus ball if you want.

The bonus ball in the Greece Powerball lottery is selected from a separate drum and is numbered 1-20. Its lower range, when compared to the main draw (1-45), means it's easier to predict and win. 

You can play the Greece Powerball with or without the bonus ball, or even bet on the bonus ball on its own. All sites offering Lucky Numbers betting have markets for the main draw and others like Read more about how to bet on the Greece Powerball.

EuroMillions

Tuesday, Friday (10:45 pm)

The EuroMillions is one of the most popular lotteries in the world with regular winners and massive jackpots! When you play the EuroMillions in South Africa, there are 4 main draw numbers you can bet on which range from 1 to 50, plus two bonus balls (Lucky Stars) numbered 1-12. 

The bonus ball in EuroMillions is one of the easiest to predict because it has the lowest range of any Lucky Numbers games we know of. On Betway, you can play the EuroMillions without the bonus ball, but on Hollywoodbets, you can bet on the two bonus balls alone without the main draw.

USA Mega Millions

Wednesday, Saturday (6 am)

The Mega Millions has a long history in the USA, but is also well known and played around the world. How it works is that you must select the outcome of up to 4 balls which are each numbered 1-70. There is also a bonus ball (Gold Mega Ball) you can play with a range of 1-25. 

Because this lottery has a high number range, it's more difficult to predict the winning numbers. You will get paid out at odds of around 11/1 for guessing just one number correctly and as much as Gbets Lucky Numbers Guide
