How the games now work under Sizekhaya

The rules for Lotto and Lotto Plus draws under the new operator Sizekhaya require players to select six different numbers between 1 and 52. Players can choose their own numbers or use Quick Pick to have numbers selected randomly.

A new optional feature allows players to select a Pick One (MP1) extra number at seven times the ticket price. Prizes are awarded to players who match at least three of the six drawn numbers, with larger prizes for more matches. Players who match all six numbers share the jackpot.

The published odds of matching all six numbers under the current format are 1 in 20 358 520.

Ticket buying and claiming basics

Tickets can be bought in-store at licensed retailers or through banking apps. Players may also create an account or use the mobile app.

• Be at least 18 years of age
