- A bonus ball is drawn for secondary prizes (Divisions 2, 4, 6, and 8)
- Match all 6 to win the jackpot (starts at R3 million)
- LottoPlus 1 & 2 are additional games on the same ticket for R2.50 each
- Tickets cost R5.00 per board (additional boards on the same ticket cost R5 each)

Lotto Tips & Strategies
While the lottery is entirely random, these tips can help you play smarter:
- Play consistently rather than spending large amounts on single draws
- Choose a mix of high and low numbers rather than clustering in one range
- Avoid common number patterns (birthdays limit you to 1-31) to reduce the chance of sharing a jackpot
- Consider adding LottoPlus 1 & 2 for just R2.50 extra per game — separate jackpots with the same numbers
- Join a syndicate to increase your chances by pooling tickets with friends or colleagues
- Set a monthly lotto budget and stick to it — play responsibly
