The draws for Sunday, 21 December 2025, have concluded. Below, you will find the official winning numbers for both the Daily Lotto and the newer Daily Lotto Plus draws, along with a comprehensive guide to understanding the games, claiming prizes, and playing responsibly.
Tonight’s Jackpot Status: The estimated Daily Lotto jackpot was R300,000, while the Daily Lotto Plus jackpot stood at R100,000. A key feature of these games is that the advertised jackpot is guaranteed to be won in every draw. If no player matches all five numbers, the prize money rolls down to the winners in the next prize tier (e.g., those matching four numbers), ensuring the prize pool is always paid out.

UNDERSTANDING DAILY LOTTO & DAILY LOTTO PLUS
While both games require picking five numbers from a pool of 1 to 36, they are separate draws with distinct prize pools. A ticket for one does not enter you into the other. Daily Lotto Plus was introduced as a supplementary game, offering a second chance to win every day with a separate, often smaller, jackpot. Think of it as two independent lotteries held concurrently.
DRAW SCHEDULE AND SALES DEADLINES
Draws occur every night at approximately 21:30 SAST. Sales for physical tickets at retailers close sharply at 20:30. However, online sales via the National Lottery website or app may remain open closer to the draw time—always confirm the cut-off on your chosen platform.
COMPREHENSIVE GUIDE TO BUYING TICKETS
You have multiple secure options:
- Retailers: Visit any authorized lottery outlet.
- Online: The official National Lottery website or mobile site.
- Mobile App: Download the official National Lottery App.
- Banking Platforms: Use apps or services from FNB, ABSA, Nedbank, Standard Bank, Capitec, TymeBank, and African Bank.
- USSD: Dial *120*7529# from your mobile phone (airtime charges may apply).
Eligibility: You must be 18 years or older to play.
WINNER SUPPORT AND TAX IMPLICATIONS
This is a crucial benefit many players are unaware of. The National Lottery provides free, confidential trauma counselling and accredited financial advice to all winners of R50,000 and above. This support is vital for managing the sudden life change a windfall can bring. Furthermore, all lottery winnings in South Africa are tax-free and paid directly into the winner’s account.
WEEKLY LOTTERY SCHEDULE CONTEXT
Daily Lotto is the only game drawn every single day. The larger jackpot games (Lotto and PowerBall) are drawn on specific days:
- Monday & Thursday: Daily Lotto only.
- Tuesday & Friday: Daily Lotto + PowerBall and PowerBall Plus.
- Wednesday & Saturday: Daily Lotto + Lotto, Lotto Plus 1, and Lotto Plus 2.
- Sunday: Daily Lotto only.
This schedule helps you plan which days offer multiple jackpot opportunities.
