We welcome you to our Lucky Numbers Betting South Africa post, where we will provide you with all the necessary information regarding Lucky Numbers betting. Lucky Numbers is one of the most popular pastimes in South Africa, with thousands of punters betting on international lotteries such as the South African National Lottery and the popular UK49 lottery.
Nowadays, you can wager on a variety of lottery games through sports betting sites such as Betway, Sunbet, and Hollywoodbets. With so many different options and wagers available, we thought we’d provide some guidance for those interested in betting on Lucky Numbers.
Betting on Lucky Numbers
Lucky Numbers is distinct from the lottery in that you are not participating in lottery pools; rather, you are betting on the numbers that will be drawn. As a result, you’ll be placing wagers that are quite distinct from those placed on the lottery. With lucky numbers betting, you can wager on a variety of markets, such as whether a particular number will be drawn or the color of a ball. There are numerous wagering options beyond simply selecting all the winning numbers.

Where to Bet on Lucky Numbers?
How to Make a Fortune Betting on Lucky Numbers
One number to show up in the draw
Two numbers
Three numbers
Four numbers
Whether the bonus ball will be Low (1-24) or High (26-49) (25 belongs to the bookmaker)
Whether the bonus ball will be a single digit number (1-9). All the above have set odds.
All of the preceding has established odds.
For example, the odds on the number 13 appearing in the South African Lotto are 5/1. This means that if the number 13 appears in the draw, you will receive 5 times your stake in addition to your stake back. Therefore, if you wager R10, you will win R50 plus your R10 stake, for a total of R60.
As a result, your payout is not determined by the number of people who win; rather, your payout is fixed. This is referred to as fixed-odds betting, and this is how Lucky Numbers works.
Just keep in mind that this is not like the lottery, where you pick six numbers and are paid out if three of them match. If you wager on three numbers (say, 7,13, and 36) to appear in the South African Lotto, those three numbers must appear. If only one or two of the numbers you selected appear, the wager is a loss. Obviously, the fewer numbers you choose, the better. However, the more numbers you play, the more money you win on Lucky Numbers.
All odds for the South African Lottos, UK49s, Spain Daily, and Canadian draws are listed below: (Please keep in mind that different draws may have a different number of balls, altering the odds. Please ensure that you are aware of the odds prior to playing):
NUMBER ONE
Choose a single digit between 1 and 49. If your selected number is drawn from the seven lotto balls, you have won! YOU WIN 5 TIMES THE AMOUNT SPENT. For example, wagering R10 will earn you R50 PLUS the R10 wagered on Lucky Numbers.
Total prize money won equals R60.
NUMBER TWO
Select two numbers between 1 and 49. If both of your selected numbers are drawn from the seven lotto balls, you have won! YOU WIN 52 TIMES THE AMOUNT SPENT. For instance, wagering R10 will earn you R520 PLUS the R10 wager.
The total prize money won is R530.
THREE NUMBERS
Choose three digits between 1 and 49. You are a winner if all three of your selected numbers are drawn from the seven lotto balls (including the bonus ball). YOU WIN 400 TIMES THE AMOUNT SPENT. For example, wagering R10 will earn you R4000 PLUS the R10 wager. Total prize money won: R4010
