Mega Millions! Saturday Lotto Results Unveiled for June 20, 2026

South Africa's National Lottery offers a variety of exciting games, providing multiple opportunities for players to win substantial jackpots. The main draws include Lotto, Lotto Plus 1, Lotto 5 Max, and the Daily Lotto, each with its own unique rules, draw schedules, and prize structures. Players must be at least 18 years old to participate in any of these games.

The Lotto, Lotto Plus 1, and Lotto 5 Max draws are held twice a week, every Wednesday and Saturday, broadcast on e.tv and SABC 2 at 21:00 (SA time). For the main Lotto draw, players select six numbers between 1 and 52. A Quick Pick option is available for randomly generated numbers. The entry fee for Lotto is R5.00 per board. There's also an option to pick an extra number (MP1) at seven times the ticket price. Prizes are awarded for matching at least three of the six drawn numbers, with the jackpot going to those who match all six. The odds of hitting the jackpot are 1 in 20,358,520, and if no one matches all six numbers, the jackpot rolls over to the next draw. The current estimated Lotto jackpot stands at R3.2 million.

Lotto Plus 1 offers players a second chance to win with the same numbers chosen for the main Lotto draw. By paying an additional R2.50 per board, players can enter this supplementary draw. While the odds are identical to the main Lotto, the prizes are typically slightly lower. The estimated jackpot for Lotto Plus 1 is R4.5 million.

Lotto 5 Max provides a third opportunity to win, also accessible by paying an extra R2.50 per board when purchasing a Lotto ticket. It shares the same rules and odds as the main Lotto but distinguishes itself with a guaranteed payout approach. Unlike the regular Lotto, if the jackpot in Lotto 5 Max is not won after a predetermined number of consecutive draws, the prize money is not rolled over indefinitely. Instead, it is distributed among players in the lower winning tiers, ensuring that winnings are returned to the player community. The current estimated Lotto 5 Max jackpot is R500,000.

The Daily Lotto offers players a chance to win cash prizes every day of the week, with draws occurring Monday to Sunday around 20:40 (SA time). To play, participants choose five numbers from a pool of 36. Each entry costs R3, and players can spend up to R150 per ticket, play multiple boards, and enter up to 10 consecutive draws. A Quick Pick option is also available. A significant feature of the Daily Lotto is its guaranteed payout: the estimated jackpot prize money, currently R425,000, is always awarded, even if no one matches all five numbers, being shared among other winning tiers if the top prize is not claimed.

Tickets for all these lottery games can be conveniently purchased through various channels. Players can visit any nearest participating retailer, use the National Lottery website (national lottery.co.za) via computer or mobile, download the National Lottery Mobile App, or buy tickets through participating banks including FNB, ABSA, Nedbank, Standard Bank, Capitec, TymeBank, and African Bank. For USSD users, dialing *120*7529# provides another purchasing option. It is important to note that lottery ticket sales from physical outlets close at 20:40 on the day of a draw.

Beyond the excitement of the draws, the National Lottery also provides significant support for its winners. Individuals who win R50,000 or more receive complimentary trauma counselling from professional psychologists and financial advice from accredited financial advisors. All winnings are paid tax-free directly into the winner’s accounts, ensuring a seamless and supportive experience for those who hit it big.

A quick summary of the weekly draw schedule for all lottery games is as follows: Daily Lotto is drawn every day. On Tuesdays and Fridays, Daily Lotto is joined by PowerBall and PowerBall XTRA. Wednesdays and Saturdays feature Daily Lotto alongside Lotto, Lotto Plus 1, and Lotto 5 Max.
