German Lotto Draw Days and Times
German Lotto draws twice a week, on Wednesday and Saturday, in the evening in Germany — which lands in the evening in South Africa too. Unlike the US draws, there is no overnight wait. Here is the schedule.
The schedule in South African time
| Draw days | South African time |
|---|---|
| Wednesday | Evening, around 19:00 to 20:30 |
| Saturday | Evening, around 19:30 to 20:30 |
Central European Time is level with South Africa in winter and one hour behind in the European summer, so the exact SA time shifts by an hour with daylight saving. Betting closes before the draw, so place your bet earlier in the evening and you will have the result the same night.
