MORE is at stake this Saturday with a R30-million guaranteed jackpot for LOTTO up for grabs.
Tickets for the guaranteed jackpot draw are on sale, and the draw will take place on Saturday, 28 May.
Sunday May 22 saw the launch of the enhanced Lotto and Lotto Plus games which have undergone exciting facelifts.
The changes are part of the lottery operator’s mission of enhancing and reinvigorating the lottery games to make them more exciting and appealing.
Ithuba has however also decided to up the ante by putting up a staggering R30 million guaranteed jackpot to coincide with the much-awaited launch.
Research by Ithuba has shown that SA lottery players want to win more and the lottery operator responded by bringing about changes that will allow more allocations in Lotto jackpots. There’s more in the Lotto jackpot prize, which is an estimated 50% more than previously.
The changes will allow the Lotto game more flexibility and put it in line with international benchmarks, allowing more funds to be available for the jackpot prizes.
Changes also include a guaranteed fixed prize pay-out of R50 for matching 3 numbers in the Lotto game. In the past the prize was determined by a number of tickets matching three numbers and thus sharing a prize pool.
Other changes include the introduction of the Quickpick option on the bet slip which has been given a new fresh look.
The Lotto Plus jackpot will, going forward, be rolling over instead of rolling down if not won. This means the Lotto Plus jackpot will keep growing leading to much bigger jackpots if not won.
Lotto Plus also has a guaranteed fixed prize pay-out of R20 for those matching 3 numbers.
Lotto tickets are now retailing at R5.00 while Lotto Plus retailing at R2.50.
The Saturday, 28 May, evening’s live Lotto draw will take place at 9pm on
SABC 2. Ticket sales close at 20:30, 30 minutes before the live draw.
