South Africa Lotto

Those who play South Africa Lotto will all be dreaming of emulating the astonishing jackpot that was won back in February 2003. How much I hear you ask? An eye watering R44.7 million is the answer, and that is the equivalent of 5.7 million US dollars. Launched in the year 2000, 16 years after the first lottery game started in South Africa this particular draw has quickly become a national favourite. The substantial jackpots are of course a factor, but the traditional easy to play format South Africa Lotto opted for has proved a popular decision with South African lottery players. If you play South Africa Lotto you will select 6 numbers from 1 to 49, a game type that many who play various lotteries around the globe will be very familiar with. All 6 numbers are needed for the jackpot, but those who play South Africa Lotto can win numerous secondary prizes including a significant amount if they manage to select five numbers and the bonus ball. Like many of South Africa’s lotteries some of the proceeds of South Africa Lotto will be spread around the nation to assist in a variety of national projects.
