South Africa Lotto

If you decide to play South Africa Lotto you will be participating in a game that launched in the year 2000. This is 16 years after lotteries began in South Africa, and since then many different lotteries have been vying for top spot in the country. For many who play South Africa Lotto that top spot is undoubtedly going to this very draw. The reasons for this are twofold. Firstly is the ever popular yet simple format. Should you play South Africa Lotto you will pick 6 numbers from a guess range of 1 to 49, and of course the jackpot only comes players way if they land all 6 numbers. But the jackpot size is the second reason this draw is so popular, for those who play South Africa Lotto will be dreaming of jackpots that pay the equivalent of over 1 million US dollars. Indeed the highest ever jackpot surpassed the equivalent of 5 million US dollars! It was in February 2003 that this was won, with R44.7 million being the exact figure in local currency. As with most South African lotteries South Africa Lotto contributes to a large variety of national causes, as some of the proceeds from this draw always head towards local projects.
