📊 Draw Analysis & Insights — 6 May 2026
Lotto Plus 2 is operated by Ithuba Holdings under license from the National Lottery Commission of South Africa. The 6/52 matrix means players choose 6 numbers from a pool of 52, with a separate Bonus Ball also drawn from the remaining numbers. With odds of approximately 1 in 20 million for the Division 1 jackpot, it is a true lottery.
Unlike the main Lotto draw, Lotto Plus 2 typically attracts fewer entries per draw, which means jackpots can accumulate over multiple rollover draws. Lower divisions — particularly Division 5 through 8 — pay out consistently across nearly every draw, making it popular among players who prioritise regular smaller returns.

Can I play Lotto Plus 2 without the main Lotto? +
No. Lotto Plus 2 is an exclusive add-on and cannot be entered as a standalone game. To have entered the 6 May 2026 draw, a player needed to first purchase a main SA Lotto ticket, then also select and pay for both the Lotto Plus 1 and Lotto Plus 2 add-ons. Each add-on carries a separate additional cost per board.

How is Lotto Plus 2 different from the main SA Lotto? +
While both games share the same 6/52 number matrix and use the same player-selected numbers, Lotto Plus 2 has a completely separate prize pool funded by Plus 2 add-on sales, and uses a dedicated independent draw machine. This means a player can win on the main Lotto draw, Lotto Plus 1, and Lotto Plus 2 simultaneously from one set of chosen numbers — though each prize is won independently. Jackpots in Lotto Plus 2 are typically smaller than the main Lotto.
