Privacy Policy

Effective date: 5 May 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how NextDrawLogic ("we", "us", "our"), accessible at nextdrawlogic.com, collects, uses, discloses, and safeguards information when you visit our website. We are committed to protecting your privacy and to processing any information lawfully and transparently in accordance with South Africa's Protection of Personal Information Act, 2013 (POPIA) and, where applicable, the EU and UK General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

🔒 Privacy first: You can use all of our lottery tools — including the ticket checker, statistics, and number generators — without creating an account or submitting any personal information.

NextDrawLogic is an independent information and statistics service. We are not affiliated with Ithuba, the National Lottery, or the National Lotteries Commission, and we do not sell lottery tickets or process any payments.

1. Information We Collect

We do not require you to create an account to use our website, and we do not collect Personally Identifiable Information (PII) such as your name, postal address, ID number, or banking details unless you voluntarily provide it — for example, by emailing us. The information involved in your use of the site falls into three categories:

Information you provide voluntarily

If you contact us by email, we receive your email address and the contents of your message. We use this solely to respond to your enquiry.

Information collected automatically

Like most websites, we automatically receive certain technical information when you visit, such as your IP address, browser type, device type, operating system, referring pages, and timestamps. This is described further under "Log Files" and "Cookies" below.

Information stored on your own device

Some tools save your inputs locally in your browser for convenience. This data stays on your device and is never transmitted to our servers (see "Ticket Checker & Local Storage").

2. How We Use Information

We use the limited information we receive to:

We do not sell your personal information.

Under POPIA, NextDrawLogic acts as the "responsible party" for any personal information processed through this site. Where we process information, we rely on one or more of the following lawful grounds: your consent (for example, for personalised advertising cookies), our legitimate interests in operating and securing the website, and compliance with the law. You may withdraw consent at any time, as described in "Consent & Managing Cookies".

4. Ticket Checker & Local Storage

When you use our ticket checker and similar tools, the lottery numbers you enter may be temporarily saved in your browser's local storage. This is done solely to improve your experience — so you do not have to re-type your numbers if you refresh the page. This information is stored locally on your own device, is not transmitted to or stored on our servers, and can be cleared at any time through your browser settings.

5. Log Files

NextDrawLogic follows a standard procedure of using log files. These log visitors when they access the site. The information collected may include internet protocol (IP) addresses, browser type, Internet Service Provider (ISP), date and time stamps, referring and exit pages, and the number of clicks. This information is used for analysing trends, administering the site, and gathering broad demographic information for aggregate use. It is not linked to any information that personally identifies you.

6. Cookies and Web Beacons

Like most websites, NextDrawLogic uses cookies — small text files stored on your device. We use them to remember your preferences and to understand which pages you access, so we can optimise your experience. Cookies on our site fall into two broad groups:

You can control or disable cookies through your browser at any time, as explained in "Consent & Managing Cookies".

7. Analytics

We use analytics services, which may include Google Analytics, to understand how visitors use the site in aggregate. These services use cookies and similar technologies to collect information such as pages visited, time on site, and approximate location derived from IP address. The data is used in aggregate to improve our content and tools. You can opt out of Google Analytics across all websites by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on. For more information, see Google's Privacy Policy.

8. Advertising Partners

NextDrawLogic uses third-party advertising companies to serve ads when you visit our website. One of our primary advertising partners is Google AdSense, operated by Google LLC.

📢 Google AdSense disclosure: Google, as a third-party vendor, uses cookies to serve ads on our site. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visit to NextDrawLogic and/or other sites on the internet.

Specifically, Google and other third-party vendors use cookies — including the DoubleClick DART cookie — to serve ads based on your prior visits to this website and other sites. The information collected through these cookies may include your IP address, browser type, the pages you viewed, and other browsing data, and is used to serve and measure advertisements.

Third-party ad servers or ad networks use technologies such as cookies, JavaScript, and web beacons in the advertisements and links that appear on NextDrawLogic. These are sent directly to your browser, which automatically receives your IP address. They are used to measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns and to personalise the advertising content you see.

NextDrawLogic has no access to or control over the cookies used by third-party advertisers. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of these third parties. You can read Google's Privacy Policy at policies.google.com/privacy, and learn about how Google uses information from sites that use its services at policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.

Visitors in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, Switzerland, or other regions with applicable data protection laws are subject to additional consent requirements in accordance with Google's EU User Consent Policy, and may be shown a consent message before personalised ads are served.

By using our website, you consent to the use of cookies as described in this policy, except for any cookies you decline through a consent banner or your browser settings. You can accept or refuse cookies and be notified when a cookie is being set. If you choose to refuse cookies, some portions of the site may not function correctly.

You have the following options:

10. Data Security

We take reasonable, appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect the limited information handled through our site against loss, misuse, and unauthorised access — including serving the site over encrypted HTTPS connections. Because we do not require accounts and do not store personal profiles on our servers, the amount of personal data at risk is minimal by design. However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

11. Data Retention

We retain server log data only for as long as necessary for security, analytics, and legal purposes, after which it is deleted or anonymised. Locally stored tool data (such as ticket checker inputs) remains on your device until you clear it. Emails you send us are retained for as long as needed to handle your enquiry and any related follow-up.

12. Children's Privacy

NextDrawLogic provides information about lottery games, which are restricted to adults. Our website and tools are intended for users who are 18 years of age or older, and our content is not directed at children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If you believe a minor has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will take steps to delete it.

13. Third-Party Links

Our website may contain links to external sites — such as the official National Lottery platform or other third-party services — that we do not operate. If you click a third-party link, you will be directed to that site. We strongly advise you to review the privacy policy of every site you visit. NextDrawLogic has no control over, and assumes no responsibility for, the content, privacy policies, or practices of any third-party sites or services.

14. Your Privacy Rights (POPIA & GDPR)

If you are located in South Africa, your personal information is protected under POPIA. If you are in the EEA or UK, you have equivalent rights under the GDPR. Subject to applicable law, you have the right to:

Because we do not maintain user accounts or store personal profiles on our servers, most such requests are inherently satisfied by design. To exercise any right, contact us using the details below.

In South Africa, you may also lodge a complaint with the Information Regulator (South Africa) — website: inforegulator.org.za; email: enquiries@inforegulator.org.za.

15. Affiliate Disclosure

NextDrawLogic may contain affiliate links to third-party platforms. If you click and register through these links, we may earn a commission at no additional cost to you. These links help support the operation of our free tools and do not influence the statistical information we provide.

16. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technology, or legal requirements. When we make material changes, we will revise the "Effective date" at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this page periodically. Your continued use of the website after an update constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
