Every estimate shown on NextDrawLogic is published by the official South African National Lottery (Ithuba) ahead of each draw. We display official figures only — we never calculate or invent our own estimates — and each game page links back to the official National Lottery source. Final payouts depend on ticket sales and the number of winners.
Usually PowerBall — its 1-in-42,375,200 jackpot odds mean rollovers stack up more often, building the largest prizes (the national record is R232 million, February 2019). Lotto typically sits in the middle, and Daily Lotto pays smaller shared jackpots every night. The live figures for all six games are shown above.
Daily Lotto: every evening at 21:00 SAST (except 25 December). PowerBall and PowerBall Plus: Tuesday and Friday at 21:00. Lotto, Lotto Plus 1 and Lotto Plus 2: Wednesday and Saturday at around 21:00, drawn one after another. Ticket sales close at about 20:30 on draw nights.
No — never. A rollover raises the potential prize while the odds stay exactly the same: 1 in 42,375,200 per PowerBall board, 1 in 20,358,520 per Lotto board, 1 in 376,992 per Daily Lotto board, for every combination in every draw. Chasing rollovers with extra spend is the most common budgeting mistake in lottery play.
Daily Lotto is pari-mutuel: its jackpot is a share of that day's ticket sales, split equally between all winners, so a fixed figure isn't always published beforehand. PowerBall and Lotto jackpots roll over between draws, which is why those games carry advance estimates.
No — South African National Lottery winnings are paid tax-free. Prizes must be claimed within 365 days of the draw date, and you must be 18 or older to play.
