Playing Lotto 6/49

Lotto 6/49 is an exciting game of chance in which the player chooses 6 numbers from one to forty-nine. You can also choose the QuickPick option, in which the terminal randomly generates your numbers for you. To win the jackpot, you simply need to match all six of your numbers to the numbers drawn. However, you can win a cash prize for only match 3 numbers to the winning numbers drawn. Your chances of winning the jackpot may not be great, but your chances of winning a cash prize are pretty good.

Playing Lotto Plus

Lotto Plus is similar to Lotto 6/49. It is an extension of the Lotto on-line game and provides a second chance to win in the Lotto 6/49 game. In fact, Lotto Plus cannot be played separately from Lotto 6/49. To play Lotto Plus, you simply play the same ticket you bought for Lotto 6/49. It costs an extra $1 to play Lotto Plus but it provides a whole other chance to win. Both Lotto 6/49 and Lotto Plus are drawn every Wednesday and Saturday. In both games, 7 numbers are drawn at random. He drawing can be seen live on your local TV.

Buying South Africa National Lottery Tickets

If you don't live in South Africa and wish to play this or any other lottery simply log onto the official South Africa website. It would appear from the S Africa lottery website that at the present time S Africa does not allow the purchase of online lottery tickets so if you want to play the S African lottery you must purchase lotto tickets in person. Hopefully the S African lottery will take a cue from European lotteries and offer players the ability to buy lottery tickets online.
