Players could buy lottery tickets until 8:30pm on the day of the draw, with the actual draw taking place shortly after 9:00pm. Once the draw concluded, participants were encouraged to check their results swiftly, often within 10 minutes.
To participate, players had different options based on their preferences:
- Buying Tickets: Players could obtain betslips at any lottery store, selecting five numbers between 1 and 36 at R3 per entry. They could play multiple boards, up to R150 total.
- Online Play: Alternatively, participants could register for a lottery account online, selecting numbers directly or using the Quick Pick feature to generate random selections.
It's worth noting, the jackpot remains guaranteed to be distributed even if no one matches all five numbers. Instead, the prize is spread among those who correctly identify at least two numbers.
The importance of verifying results cannot be overstated, and The Citizen encourages players to check results against the official National Lottery website for accuracy.
"Congratulations to all the #winners! Players must be 18 years or older, play responsibly. ITHUBA is the proud operator of the National Lottery," was the triumphant message shared via social media. This emphasizes the importance of responsible play, as the thrill of potentially winning can sometimes outweigh the need for caution.
