Welcome to the official results and comprehensive guide for the Daily Lotto and Daily Lotto Plus draws for Friday, 26 December 2025. Whether you’re checking your ticket or learning how to play, this resource provides everything you need to know.
Tonight’s draws offer two exciting opportunities. The Daily Lotto jackpot is a substantial R600,000, while the newer Daily Lotto Plus game features a R200,000 top prize. Remember, these are guaranteed jackpots, meaning the full prize pool will be won tonight even if no player matches all five numbers. If there is no outright jackpot winner, the prize money rolls down to the next tier of winners (e.g., those matching four numbers), enhancing the value of secondary prizes.
📢 Live Results Update: The winning numbers for both draws will be published below immediately after the live draw concludes at approximately 21:30 South African Standard Time. Refresh this page for the latest update.

YOUR COMPREHENSIVE GUIDE TO DAILY LOTTO & DAILY LOTTO PLUS
Draw Schedule & Key Details
Draws occur every single day at 21:30 (SAST). Ticket sales at physical retailers close at 20:30, one hour before the draw, to allow for processing. However, digital sales via the app or website may remain open closer to draw time—always check the platform for cut-off times.
How to Buy Tickets: A Multi-Channel Approach
You have more options than you might think:
- Physical Retailers: Visit any licensed National Lottery outlet.
- Digital Platforms: Use the official National Lottery mobile app or visit nationallottery.co.za on any device.
- Banking Channels: Purchase via the apps or USSD services of major South African banks: FNB, ABSA, Nedbank, Standard Bank, Capitec, TymeBank, and African Bank.
- USSD: Simply dial *120*7529# on your mobile phone for a menu-driven purchase.
Tip: Digital tickets are stored electronically and linked to your player profile, eliminating the risk of losing a paper slip.
The Winner Support System: Beyond the Cash
This is a crucial but often overlooked benefit. For wins of R50,000 and above, the National Lottery provides:
- Free Trauma Counselling: Sudden wealth can be psychologically overwhelming. Professional psychologists are provided to help winners navigate this life-changing event.
- Free Financial Advisory Services: Accredited financial advisors offer guidance on managing lump-sum payments, tax implications (the winnings themselves are tax-free), and long-term planning to ensure financial health.
This holistic support system is designed to protect winners and promote sustainable prosperity.
Eligibility & Responsible Play
You must be 18 years or older to play. Always play responsibly, using only disposable income. Set a budget for lottery play and view it as a form of entertainment with a chance of a reward, not as a financial strategy.
WEEKLY SOUTH AFRICAN LOTTERY CALENDAR AT A GLANCE
To see how Daily Lotto fits into the broader lottery ecosystem, here’s the weekly schedule:
- Monday, Thursday, Sunday: Daily Lotto (standalone)
- Tuesday & Friday: Daily Lotto + the major PowerBall and PowerBall Plus draws.
- Wednesday & Saturday: Daily Lotto + the major Lotto, Lotto Plus 1, and Lotto Plus 2 draws.
This means on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Fridays, and Saturdays, you can participate in multiple major draws with a single purchase transaction.
Final Verification is Key:
While we strive for accuracy and speed in publishing results, the only 100% authoritative source for winning numbers is the official National Lottery website. Always use their platform to validate your ticket before claiming any prize. The information here is a service to players but must be confirmed officially.
Good luck, and play responsibly! 🎉
