The Same Night, Two Pools — Division-by-Division
The clearest way to understand Plus 1 money is to put it next to the main game's from the very same evening (26 August 2026). Identical divisions, identical odds — different pools:
| Division | Match | 🏆 Main Lotto Paid | ➕ Plus 1 Paid |
|---|---|---|---|
| Division 1 | 6 correct | Rollover | Rollover |
| Division 2 | 5 + bonus | R381 753.20 | R60 106.80 |
| Division 3 | 5 correct | R15 906.30 | R15 583.20 |
| Division 4 | 4 + bonus | R4 000.00 | R2 000.00 |
| Division 5 | 4 correct | R200.00 | R100.00 |
| Division 6 | 3 + bonus | R200.00 | R100.00 |
| Division 7 | 3 correct | R30.00 | R15.00 |
| Division 8 | 2 + bonus | R20.00 | R10.00 |
Read the gap, not just the rows: where Plus 1 pays less for the same match, that's purely the smaller pool — nothing about the game is harder or "worth less" per entry in probability terms. And occasionally the table flips: a Plus 1 division with very few winners can out-pay its main-game twin that had many.
How the Plus 1 Pool Has Moved — Recent Draws
Because we record the total pool per draw, you can watch the fund itself breathe — rising with weekend sales, jumping when a rollover pulls players in:
| Draw Date | Total Prize Pool | Jackpot Winners |
|---|---|---|
| 26 Aug 2026 | R2 232 832.00 | 0 — rolled over |
| 22 Aug 2026 | R2 246 221.25 | 0 — rolled over |
| 19 Aug 2026 | R1 888 642.52 | 0 — rolled over |
| 15 Aug 2026 | R2 323 121.85 | 0 — rolled over |
| 12 Aug 2026 | R1 815 932.65 | 0 — rolled over |
Where Plus 1 Prize Money Comes From — and Where It Can't Come From
Three rules govern the fund, and they explain every number above:
- Only Plus 1 money enters the Plus 1 pool. Your R5.00 main board funds the main game; only the R2.50 add-on feeds this one. The two funds never mix — a monster main-game rollover doesn't add a cent to Plus 1.
- The pool splits across the same 8 divisions as the main game (percentages set by Ithuba), each allocation divided equally among that division's winners.
- Unwon Plus 1 jackpots stay in Plus 1, rolling into the next draw's Division 1 — the fate of roughly 90% of the 155 draws in our archive.
The practical takeaway: Plus 1 payouts scale with how many people play Plus 1 — nothing else. Full structural detail (bonus-ball mechanics, division odds) lives on the main Lotto payouts page; it applies here unchanged.

Reading a Plus 1 Payout Table Like a Regular
- Scan the winners column before the rand column. A striking payout almost always means an unusually low winner count, not an unusually big pool.
- Treat "Rollover" in Division 1 as tomorrow's headline. That money reappears, stacked, in the next Plus 1 draw — the source of every big Plus 1 jackpot.
- Don't benchmark Plus 1 against the main game's rand amounts. Benchmark it against its own history — that's what the averages table above is for.
- Check your Plus 1 line even when the main line blanked. Different draw, different numbers, live prize potential. The ticket checker handles both in one pass, and every prize is tax-free with a 365-day claim window — the claims process is identical to the main game's, step-by-step on the main Lotto payouts page.
