Lotto Jackpot History

How to Claim Your South Africa Lotto Winnings

Claiming your South Africa Lotto winnings will depend on the amount you’ve won and how you played the game. If you’ve played the lottery online or through your banking app, your prize money will be paid directly to your account if the value is less than R50,000.

On the other hand, if you’ve played through a retailer you will need to bring the ticket and proof of identification to the retailer or agent who sold you the ticket to claim your money. Here is a short breakdown of how to claim prizes based on the amount you’ve won:

Prize Value Payment Location Payment Method Payment Time
R50 Participating retailers Cash Immediately
R51-R5000 Participating retailers and online Cash Immediately
R2001-R49999 National Lottery Payment Centers – The Post Office EFT or Cheque EFT is 72 hours

Cheque is 10 business days

R50000 or more National Lottery Regional Offices EFT Up to 72 hours

You can also claim your winnings by post. To do this you’ll need to do the following:

  • Fill out a claims form
  • Sign and date the back of your ticket
  • Make a copy of your ID book/card

Once you have all your documents, you can place them in an envelope and post them to 14A Charles Crescent, Eastgate Ext. 4 2031 Sandton.

For international players who use lottery agents or websites to play, it’s advised to first read the rules and regulations on claiming prizes. This is so you know what to expect when claiming larger prizes and if you have to travel to claim jackpots.

How to Win the South Africa Lottery

To win the South Africa Lottery, you’ll have to pick six numbers from a main pool of 1 to 52. You can pick the numbers yourself, or choose a quick pick option by having randomly chosen numbers become your line – though this reduces your chance of matching one of the winning combinations.

The jackpot can only be won if all six of your numbers match those that were drawn for the respective game. Other prizes may also be available for matching fewer amounts of drawn numbers. Once you’ve purchased a lotto ticket, tune in to Channel E on Wednesdays and Saturdays for live broadcasts of the draws taking place.
