South Africa Daily Lotto

How to read the Daily Lotto prize breakdown

The prize table has three columns:

• Matched: how many of your 5 numbers came up. Daily Lotto has no bonus ball, so this is a plain count from 2 to 5.
• Winners: how many winning boards were found at that level in this draw.
• Prize per winner: what one winning board receives, before any tax.

The amounts are published per draw and change from night to night. For example, in LottaGo's partner data for the draw of 11 October 2026, four boards matched all 5 numbers and each won R75,054.90. Matching 4 paid R290.70, 3 paid R17.50 and 2 paid R4.90, with 69,906 boards sharing the lowest level. These figures come from LottaGo's official data partner. The operator's published figures are final.

When are Daily Lotto results published?

Daily Lotto is drawn every evening except Christmas Day. Sales close at 20h40 and results are published from 21h00 South African time. LottaGo adds the winning numbers as soon as its data partner sends them, and the prize breakdown can follow a little later, once the winners are counted.

So "Daily Lotto results for today" appear on this page from about 21h00, and "Daily Lotto results for yesterday" are listed by date in the results table above. Daily LOTTO PLUS was discontinued after the 2026 operator change, as reported, so there are no new Plus results to show.

How to check your Daily Lotto ticket

1. Find the draw date printed on your ticket and match it to a row in the results table.
2. Count your matches on each board. Order doesn't matter: 7, 12, 19, 26, 33 matches a draw of 33, 26, 19, 12, 7.
3. Look up your match level in the prize breakdown for that draw. Two numbers on one board is the lowest level listed.
4. Confirm and claim with the operator. Prize claims are handled by South Africa's National Lottery, run by Sizekhaya Holdings since June 2026. Check its official site, nationallottery.co.za, or your retailer, for how to claim. A ticket bought through LottaGo's partner is paid out by the partner under its own terms.

Past Daily Lotto draws: the last 60 nights

The results table lists the last 60 Daily Lotto draws with their dates, newest first. With a draw every night, that covers about two months, which answers most "Daily Lotto results for 8 September" style questions without leaving the page. For older dates, check with the operator.

The same draws feed the most drawn Daily Lotto numbers, where you can see hits per number, gaps and frequent pairs. They describe the past only: each new draw gives every board the same 1 in 376,992 chance. The Daily Lotto jackpot and next draw are on the overview page, together with five AI Agent lines, and the results of all lotteries are in one feed.

Daily Lotto results FAQ

How do you play Daily Lotto?

Choose 5 numbers from 1 to 36 on a board, or take a quick pick, and buy it before sales close at 20h40. The draw takes place every evening except Christmas Day, and you win if your board matches at least 2 of the 5 numbers drawn. A board costs R3, as reported after the 2026 operator change. Our Daily LOTTO rules guide has the full details.

How much does Daily Lotto pay for 2 numbers?

It changes every draw, so check the prize breakdown for your date. In the draw of 11 October 2026, 2 numbers paid R4.90 per board, according to LottaGo's data partner. Because so many boards match 2 numbers, this level has the most winners and the smallest prize.

Can you win Daily Lotto with 2 numbers?

Yes. Matching 2 of the 5 numbers on one board is the lowest prize level in the breakdown LottaGo receives. It is also the most common win: the chance of exactly 2 matches is C(5,2) × C(31,3) ÷ C(36,5) = 44,950 ÷ 376,992, about 1 in 8.4 per board. A single matching number pays nothing.

What time are Daily Lotto results published?

From 21h00 South African time, every night except Christmas Day. Sales for that night's draw close at 20h40. LottaGo shows the numbers here once its data partner sends them, and the prize breakdown follows when the winners have been counted.

How do I claim a Daily Lotto prize?

Claims are made through South Africa's National Lottery, run by Sizekhaya Holdings, or the retailer that sold your ticket. LottaGo doesn't pay prizes, so check the operator's official site for claim rules before you go. If you bought through LottaGo's partner, the partner handles the prize under its own terms.
