How the Daily Lotto works
The Daily Lotto game allows players to select five numbers from 1 to 36. If a player’s numbers match the winning combination drawn by the ithuba national lottery, they win prizes depending on how many numbers match.
Unlike other major lottery games, the Daily Lotto does not roll over jackpots. Instead, the prize pool is distributed among winners in each division.
Players can win prizes by matching:
-
5 numbers – Jackpot division
-
4 numbers – Second prize tier
-
3 numbers – Third prize tier
-
2 numbers – Entry-level prize
This structure ensures that many players receive smaller payouts even when they do not hit the full jackpot.

-
