Winning Prizes & Payouts

One of the reasons the UK 49s is so popular in SA is the fixed odds. You know exactly how much you will win based on your stake. While payouts vary slightly between bookmakers (like Hollywoodbets and Bet365), here is a general idea of what you can expect:

Here is the typical payout structure for a R10 bet at most South African bookmakers:

1 Number Matched Typical Odds: 7/1 Winning Return: R80

2 Numbers Matched Typical Odds: 65/1 Winning Return: R660

3 Numbers Matched Typical Odds: 715/1 Winning Return: R7,160

4 Numbers Matched Typical Odds: 10,000/1 Winning Return: R100,010

Pro Tip: If you “accurately predict” even just 2 or 3 numbers, your return on investment is significantly higher than most other lottery games. You don’t need to hit the “jackpot” to walk away with a massive cash prize.

The Meaning of Lunchtime in South Africa

While many associate lunchtime with the lotto draw, it is traditionally the midday period when South Africans take a breather from work or school. Usually occurring between 12:00 pm and 2:00 pm, it is a vital time to recharge and enjoy a meal. In our local culture, lunchtime is often a social event, whether it is grabbing a quick gatsby, a boerewors roll, or sitting down for a “plate of food” with colleagues and friends.

Beyond just eating, this break serves as a necessary pause in the day to relax and de-stress. For many players, this gap in the workday is also the perfect time to play the lunchtime lotto draw and confirm the results on their phones. It provides a bit of excitement and anticipation during the afternoon slump. Whether you are using the time to socialize or to see if your lucky numbers came up, lunch-time is an essential part of the daily routine that helps everyone stay productive until the end of the day.

The UK 49s Teatime draw is the second and final daily opportunity for South African players to win big with Lucky Numbers. While the midday draw builds the momentum, the lotto game at tea-time is what many punters look forward to as they settle in for the evening.
