Daily Lotto Odds and Payouts
Daily Lotto has the friendliest odds of South Africa's draws, and betting on it is fixed-odds, so your payout is set the moment you place the bet. Here is how the pricing works and what each market pays.
Why the odds are friendlier
Daily Lotto draws five numbers from a pool of just 36, where SA Lotto uses 52 and Powerball 50 plus a Powerball. A smaller pool means your chosen numbers are more likely to come up, so Daily Lotto is the most reachable of the country's draws to win — which is a big part of its appeal.
How fixed odds work
When you bet, the odds for your chosen numbers are locked in, and so is your exact payout if you win. It does not matter how many other people backed the same numbers — you are paid at your price, not from a shared pool. Backing one number pays the least but lands most often; backing the full line of five pays the most but rarely comes up. Pick the balance that suits you, and the payout for each market is shown before you confirm. New to it? See how to bet on Daily Lotto.
Frequently asked questions
Why does Daily Lotto have better odds?
Because the numbers come from a pool of just 36, smaller than SA Lotto's 52 or Powerball's 50, so your picks are more likely to be drawn.
Is my payout affected by the size of the pool?
No. Because you bet at fixed odds, your payout is set when you place the bet, regardless of the official daily prize pool or how many others win.
