Lucky Numbers is a way to make money from lotteries that are available from South African bookmakers like Betway or Hollywoodbets. Players can choose from more than 160 lottery markets and plenty of betting markets. 

Lucky Numbers betting is different from traditional lotteries. Players bet on the result of lotteries rather than participating directly in them. As a rule, the amount of winnings depends on the size of their betting (including odds).

What are Lucky Numbers?

Lucky Numbers are based on fixed-odds lottery draws from around the world and you can participate in Lucky Numbers on a wide range of online betting platforms in South Africa. When placing Lucky Numbers bets, the player does not buy the lottery ticket itself, but makes his own prediction of the draw results. They are the basis for determining whether a bet is a winning or a losing one. In addition, the winnings are not paid for by the lottery company itself, but by the bookmaker.

How to Play Lucky Numbers?

In the standard lottery, the player is quite limited in the betting aspect. He has to predict as many numbers as possible in the lottery, and in many lotteries you can only get the winnings for all the correctly predicted numbers. 

But there are many more options in online betting. For example, you can bet on one number that you think should go into the draw. Or you can bet on whether the number you choose is above or below a certain number. The amount you win is determined by the fixed odds you get for your bet.

Why Lucky Numbers is better than traditional lottery?

There are three main reasons why you should choose lottery betting.

More Draws to Play

In South Africa, players can participate in the Lotto and Powerball four times a week. However, with Lucky Numbers, players can bet on lottery results from all over the world, wherever they are. You can bet almost every hour on new lottery results. Everything depends only on the desire and strategy of the player.

More Betting Options

In the Lotto you select six numbers or use the Quick Pick option, which selects random numbers for you. For Lucky Numbers, you can choose how much money you want to win based on how much you’re willing to spend.

Your chances of winning money are greatly increased if you try to guess just one number from the draw. You can also bet on colours, number sums and so on, all with different odds.

Guaranteed payments

In the case of traditional lotteries, the player shares his winnings with the one who chose the same numbers as him. That is, the more people correctly predict the lottery results, the less money each of them gets individually. With Lucky Numbers, players know the amount of their potential winnings from the very beginning, i.e. they are not dependent on other participants in the betting process.

How Do Lucky Numbers Odds Work?

In national lotteries the amount of winnings also depends on the number of players and winners. For example, if you can win R5000 once for three correctly guessed numbers, then the next time the prize can go down to R500 and so on. Lucky Numbers betting is based on fixed-odds, it is easy to calculate the potential winnings of a player before placing his bet. All you have to do is multiply the bet amount by odds.

Bets on Lucky Numbers

As mentioned above, players have a huge number of options when placing bets. Take, for example, the South African Lotto. If you correctly predict one number, you will receive a payout of the bet amount x odds 5/1. If you successfully predict two numbers, you will receive a payout of the bet amount x odds of 52/1. If you predict three numbers correctly, you will get paid out at odds of 400/1 if all your numbers are drawn and so on.

Some other Lucky Numbers betting options:

• Numbers with or without bonus ball;
• Odd or even the sum of the numbers in draw;
• Draw Sum Range;
• Colour of the first ball;
• Colour of the last ball.
• Bonus Ball Bets

Many bookmakers offer players the opportunity to bet on the bonus ball number. Here are some options on the example of the South African Lotto:

• If you manage to guess the bonus ball number correctly, you will get a 47/1 win on your bet;
• If you correctly predict the bonus ball number will be a single-digit number (1-9), you will get paid out at odds of 3/1 and so on.

How to Win Lucky Numbers?

You can find a huge number of strategies for winning bets on the Internet. However, remember that the result of a bet depends almost entirely on your luck. This is why players have a lot of freedom in their choice. For example, some people bet on the same numbers all the time, while others prefer to choose random numbers in each bet. Everything depends on you!
