Look, if you’ve been around the South African gambling scene for as long as I have, you know that the main draw is just the beginning. For the real punters, the SA Lotto PLUS 1 is where the strategy shifts. It’s not just a second chance at the SA Lotto—it’s a completely different animal, especially now that the game has seen some serious upgrades.

The draw takes place every Wednesday and Saturday night, running immediately after the main SA Lotto draw. Whether you are at home or on the move, this page is your ultimate hub to track the latest and historical results of the lottery, ensuring you never miss a beat on which numbers are running hot.

We’ve designed this guide so you can learn the rules in easy steps, alongside a clear breakdown of the odds of winning to help you play smarter. We also have a special section for those who wish to dig their heads into analysing the statistics of the lottery—perfect for spotting patterns—along with lucky number predictions before you place your next bet.

Let’s break down what makes SA Lotto PLUS 1 the heartbeat of the Mzansi lottery scene and why SA’s online betting world has changed the game for us knowledgeable types.

About SA Lotto PLUS 1

The South African National Lottery (operated by Ithuba) didn’t always have the “PLUS games” for the SA Lotto. SA Lotto PLUS 1 was launched back in November 2003. At the time, it was a simple way to keep players engaged: you’d play the main Lotto and then opt in for an extra buck or two to run those same numbers again in a separate draw.

Over the years, the game has evolved. We moved from the old 49-ball format to 52, and as of September 2025, we are officially in the 6/58 era. Why does this matter? Because the operators realised that people wanted more winners. The shift to 58 balls actually came with a massive overhaul of the prize structure, significantly boosting your chances of hitting something.

SA Lotto PLUS 1 vs. The Rest: Know Your Draws

Don’t get it twisted—while they happen on the same night, these are separate machines and separate draws.

  • SA Lotto: The OG. 6 numbers + 1 Bonus Ball from a 1–58 pool.
  • SA Lotto PLUS 1: A separate draw using the same 1–58 pool. In the physical world, you can only play this if you’ve already bought a main SA Lotto ticket.
  • SA Lotto PLUS 2: The third draw of the night. Again, same pool, but you can only enter if you’ve paid for both the SA Lotto and SA Lotto PLUS 1.

🎓The Baba’s Tip: In the retail world, the main SA Lotto costs R5, and adding PLUS 1 costs an extra R2.50. But for us online players, the rules are different, and frankly, better.

The Digital Revolution: Buying Tickets Offline vs. Betting on Outcomes Online

This is where it gets interesting for the smart money. Most of the big iGaming sites in South Africa don’t actually sell you an official ticket. Instead, you are betting on the results of the official draw.

This opens up a massive Lucky Numbers market that you won’t find at a petrol station kiosk:

  1. Lower Entry Points: While the national lottery has fixed prices, online lottery betting sites in SA let you place bets as low as R1.
  2. No Bundle Requirement: Online, you don’t have to play the main SA Lotto to get a piece of the SA Lotto PLUS 1 action. If you think the PLUS 1 draw is “hotter,” you can bet on it directly.
  3. Diverse Markets: You aren’t stuck just trying to pick 6 numbers. The online market lets you bet on:
    • Odd/Even: Will the bonus ball be an odd or even number?
    • High/Low: Betting on the spread of the numbers.
    • Numbers NOT Drawn: A classic degenerate favourite—betting that a specific number won’t show up.
    • Dream Numbers: Integrated tools that turn your dreams into a betting slip. Use our Fafi dream tool to find your winning combination.

☝️Note: Because you’re betting on Lucky Numbers and not buying official tickets, licensed online bookmakers won’t offer the Grand Jackpot (matching 6/6) or even the 5+Bonus tier. They pay out fixed odds instead. You won’t become a billionaire overnight here, but you can hit very consistent, high-value payouts that the official lower tiers can’t touch.

Why the 6/58 Format is a Game Changer

I’ve heard guys at the local pub complaining that “58 balls is too many.” They’re looking at it wrong. While the 6/58 format makes the top-tier jackpot harder to hit, it has drastically improved the overall odds of winning a prize.

We’ve gone from roughly a 1 in 36 chance to a 1 in 9.6 chance of winning any prize. In the world of gambling, those are the kind of win frequency shifts that keep the lights on. It means more frequent payouts and more action for the average player.

Thing to Remember When Betting on SA Lotto PLUS 1 Online

  • Tax-Free Winnings: In South Africa, lottery winnings are considered capital in nature, which means they are generally tax-free for the average punter. However, if you are a “professional gambler” and the SARS taxman decides this is your primary source of income, things can get complicated. For 99.9% of us, though, what you win is what you keep.
  • Claim Periods: If you’re buying physical tickets, you have 365 days to claim. Online? Your winnings usually hit your wallet as soon as the results are verified.
  • The Bonus Ball: In the SA Lotto PLUS 1, the bonus ball is there to juice up the mid-to-high tier prizes. Note that matching 2 numbers + the bonus doesn’t pay out—you need to hit the higher tiers for that bonus ball to start making you smile.
  • Independence: Each draw (SA Lotto, PLUS 1, PLUS 2) is independent. A number appearing in the main draw has the exact same statistical probability of appearing in the SA Lotto PLUS 1 draw.
  • Draw Security: If you think the draws are rigged, you should know that every SA Lotto PLUS 1 draw is strictly run by a special computerised RNG. It ensures total randomness in every draw irrespective of the numbers selected, the tickets purchased, or any other participant data.
  • The Dark Window Controversy: Among us more seasoned lotto players, there’s often talk about the “dark window“—the few minutes between when ticket sales close (usually 20:30) and when the draw actually happens (20:56). While the system is highly secure, this gap is where independent auditors do their final reconciliations to make sure every single bet is accounted for before the balls start dropping. Luckily, the Dark Window is of no concern to online lottery bettors.

The Bottom Line

At the end of the day, skipping the queue and betting on SA Lotto PLUS 1 outcomes online is simply the smarter play. It’s easier, faster, and way more fun because you aren’t locked into one way to win. Whether you’re chasing a “Numbers Not Drawn” bet or just putting a cheeky R1 on an Odd/Even bonus ball, online lottery sites in SA give you the flexibility that a paper ticket just can’t match.
