In a dramatic draw on Saturday, March 22, 2025, the Lotto and Lotto Plus results revealed no winners, leaving players across South Africa disappointed. The estimated Lotto jackpot was R7 million, while the two Lotto Plus draws offered estimated prizes of R5 million and R3 million, respectively. Despite the appealing amounts on the table, the winning numbers did not align with any ticket holders, leaving the enormous jackpots intact for the next draw.
The Lotto results for the eventful evening were as follows: 03, 12, 16, 18, 31, 51, with a bonus ball of 02. Unfortunately, no players matched all six numbers, nor did anyone manage to secure prizes in the award tiers of Match 5+ Bonus Ball, Match 5, Match 4+Bonus Ball, Match 4, Match 3+Bonus Ball, Match 3, or Match 2+Bonus Ball. All matches resulted in payouts of R0.00 for the night, indicating a complete jackpot rollover.
Turning to Lotto Plus, the results were equally disheartening. The first Lotto Plus draw saw winning numbers of 16, 25, 32, 39, 45, 52 with a bonus ball of 40. Again, this draw did not yield any winners across all match categories.
In the second Lotto Plus draw, the numbers drawn were 07, 33, 34, 38, 40, 47, with a bonus ball of 17. Similarly, no excited ticket holders came forward to claim the R3 million jackpot, pointing to a lack of luck among players.
Considering the current state of affairs, the next Lotto draw promises even higher stakes with the jackpot rolling over once again, keeping all expectant players on the edge of their seats. The growing anticipation leads to even heightened interest in ticket purchases, which can be obtained for an entry fee of R5 per board, while each Lotto Plus board incurs an additional cost of R2.50.
As players await the next draw, scheduled for March 25, 2025, excitement continues to build. National Lottery ticket sales for the next draw will close at 8:30 PM on the day of the event, ensuring all hopeful participants have enough time to secure their numbers before the 9 PM draw.
With millions at stake, the atmosphere is charged as players dive into the game of chance, hoping that their numbers will finally align with fate. The National Lottery emphasizes responsible gambling, encouraging all players to only wager amounts they can afford to lose.
To catch the winning numbers, viewers can tune in via broadcasts typically on E-tv around 21:00, and remain updated through platforms like Swisher Post and various lottery websites that provide live updates for eager fans eager to check their tickets.
As the lottery continues its tradition of giving players a chance at life-changing sums, everyone is left asking the same question: will your numbers be next?
