Check today's Lotto, Lotto Plus 1, and Lotto 5 Max draws to see if you’re a millionaire!
The Full Story
Today, South Africa awaits the results of the Lotto, Lotto Plus 1, and Lotto 5 Max draws, which took place on September 5, 2026. The excitement surrounding these draws continues to grow as players hope to become Australia's next multimillionaires. For those unfamiliar, participants need to choose six numbers from 1 to 52 or opt for a Quick Pick for randomly generated numbers.
The draws occur every Wednesday and Saturday on e.tv and SABC 2, starting at 21:00. So how does the Lotto work? A total of six balls are drawn without replacement from a set of 52 balls.
Players who match at least three of the drawn numbers win prizes, with bigger rewards for matching more numbers. Everyone who matches all six numbers shares the jackpot equally, which is a highly coveted prize. Those eager to increase their chances can participate in additional draws, Lotto Plus 1 and Lotto 5 Max, for an extra fee.
Lotto Plus 1 allows participants another chance to win with the same odds as the main Lotto. Lotto 5 Max has a unique twist; if the jackpot isn't won after a specified number of draws, the prize is shared among lower-tier winners, ensuring that money goes back to the community. Tickets cost R5.00 per board, with participants encouraged to purchase through various means, including retail outlets and online.
Because results can vary significantly, players are reminded to verify numbers through the official National Lottery website or their mobile app, as they are the only definitive source of the results. As thrilling moments unfold around the draws, additional support is provided to winners. Those winning R50 000 or more receive free trauma counselling and financial advice, reinforcing the National Lotteries' commitment to their players' well-being and future finances.
With the draw closing at 20:40 on the night of the event, last-minute players need to act fast if they want to be part of this exciting opportunity. For many, the dream of winning millions remains just that—a dream. However, the lure of the Lotto continues; becoming part of South Africa's lottery culture is more accessible than ever, thanks to online platforms and mobile apps.
