South African Lottery LOTTO Plus 1 results

So, you played the Lotto and didn’t land the jackpot? Don’t tear up that ticket just yet — Lotto Plus 1 might still surprise you.

If you opted in, you’ve automatically entered a second draw using the same numbers. No need to make another selection, no extra hassle. Just a small add-on cost, and you’ve doubled your chances.

When Does Lotto Plus 1 Happen?

Every Wednesday and Saturday, right after the main Lotto numbers are drawn, Lotto Plus 1 kicks in. It’s a separate draw, with its own prize pool and jackpot — and just as much excitement.

No waiting around. One moment you’re holding your breath for Lotto, the next you’re right back in the game for round two.

What Is Lotto Plus 1 Exactly?

It’s the ultimate backup plan — a second opportunity to win big, using the same six numbers you played in the original Lotto draw. All you had to do was tick the “Plus 1” box when you bought your ticket.

The draw format stays the same:

6 numbers drawn from 1 to 52
Match them all? Jackpot.
Match some? Still worth checking — the prizes can add up fast.

Why Players Love Lotto Plus 1

You don’t need to pick new numbers
It runs immediately after Lotto
It has its own jackpot (which rolls over, by the way)
Prizes can be surprisingly generous, especially with fewer players

It’s low-cost, low-effort, and high-potential. Sounds like a no-brainer, right?

How to Claim Winnings

Whether you win in Lotto or Plus 1, the process is identical:

Small wins (up to R2,000): claim them at any retailer
Medium wins (R2,001–R50,000): head to your local post office
Big wins (above R50,000): visit an ITHUBA regional office

You have one full year from the draw date to cash in — so don’t delay.
