After your entry is placed, you can manage everything from your MagicLotto account, including viewing your played numbers, following draw outcomes, and checking your winnings.
MagicLotto offers a wide range of local and international lottery games from one platform. This includes SA Lotto, PowerBall, Daily Lotto, EuroMillions, EuroJackpot, US PowerBall, Mega Millions, UK Lotto, Irish Lotto, Oz Lotto, Australia PowerBall, SuperEnaLotto, German Lotto, French Lotto and Portugal Totoloto.
You can browse all available draws on the main buy lotto tickets page and compare games based on format, prize structure, and draw schedule.
Each lottery page on MagicLotto explains the basics of that game before you enter. This usually includes how many numbers you need to choose, whether there is a bonus or extra number, and how that game works compared with other lotteries.
This helps when moving between different games like SA Lotto, PowerBall, EuroMillions and EuroJackpot, because the number format and prize rules are not the same for every draw.
You can usually choose your numbers manually if you want full control over your selection, or use quick random selections if you prefer a faster way to enter. This gives players flexibility across both South African and international lotteries.
If you like analysing trends before you enter, you can also use the hot and cold numbers page and the lottery calculator as part of your decision-making process.
Yes. If you prefer playing the same number combinations regularly, MagicLotto makes it easier to manage repeat play through your account journey, rather than starting from scratch every time.
If you want to confirm what you have already entered, you can review your selections in your account or visit Where can I see the lottery numbers I have played?
That depends on the specific lottery product you choose. Some games follow the official ticket structure of that lottery, while others may offer more flexible or lower-cost ways to take part.
If your goal is a smaller entry price on selected international draws, Mini Lotto Tickets are often the better option, because they let you join part of a qualifying ticket instead of buying a full one.
Yes. MagicLotto also offers Sportstake products, giving players more ways to take part beyond traditional lotto draws.
Available Sportstake options include formats such as Cricket, Rugby, and other pools such as Sportstake 4, Sportstake 8 and Sportstake 13.
A bonus number is an extra number drawn in some lottery games after the main winning numbers. It can affect lower prize divisions, depending on the official rules of that specific lottery.
Because different lotteries use bonus structures differently, it is best to check the relevant game page or results page before entering. You can compare these structures on pages like SA Lotto results, EuroMillions results and EuroJackpot results.
In PowerBall-style games, the PowerBall is a separate extra number drawn alongside the main winning numbers. It is not the same as the main set of numbers and is used as part of the prize calculation.
This is one of the key differences between PowerBall and more traditional lotto games such as SA Lotto. You can see this more clearly on the PowerBall results and PowerBall Plus results pages.
Closing times depend on the game you want to enter. Different lotteries and Sportstake products follow different schedules, so the cut-off time is not the same across the whole site.
The best place to confirm this is the specific game page itself, whether you are entering SA Lotto, PowerBall, EuroMillions, US PowerBall or Sportstake.
You can follow the latest draw outcomes on the main lotto results page, where MagicLotto publishes results across South African and international games.
You can also go directly to pages such as PowerBall results, Daily Lotto results, EuroMillions results, US PowerBall results or use the lotto ticket checker to review played entries.
You can view your entered numbers inside your MagicLotto account after your purchase has been completed.
For direct help on this topic, you can also link users to this FAQ page: Where can I see the lottery numbers I have played?
MagicLotto supports multiple ways to fund your account, making it easier for players to prepare for upcoming draws and Sportstake opportunities.

If you have won, the withdrawal process will depend on the prize amount and the status of your account verification.
For direct guidance, users should also be linked to How do I withdraw my prize money when I have won?
Tax treatment can depend on the lottery, the player’s country, and the rules around that specific prize. This is especially relevant for international lottery participation.
For related guidance, you can link internally to lotto tax and the existing FAQ page Do I get taxed after winning prize monies?
MagicLotto users often want to know whether location affects access to the platform or to certain lotteries. Availability can depend on the rules that apply to your country and the specific product involved.
You can support this question with the existing FAQ page Can I play lottery from my country?
When you play the lottery online at MagicLotto, you don’t have to check lottery draw results yourself to see if you won prizes. We will notify you whenever you win with an automatic email. At the same time, your Ticket Purchases on MagicLotto will be updated and you will be able to view the draw details and your winnings. To find out about your win in the fastest way possible, sign up for MagicLotto FREE SMS and EMAIL winning alerts.
Your jackpot and non-jackpot winnings may be subject to local tax (tax deducted at source) before they can be transferred to you. In addition, you may be subject to local taxation based on your country of residence.
For more information about the tax requirements of the lotteries offered on our site, please visit our Lottery Tax Information page.
Prizes in a lottery draw other than a jackpot are considered secondary prizes. Each lottery has its own prize division setup, defining the prizes and odds for partial matches. Please note that secondary winnings may be subject to local tax (tax deducted at source) before they can be transferred to you. In addition, you may be subject to local taxation based on your country of residence.
For more information about the tax requirements of the lotteries offered on our site, please visit our Lottery Tax Information page.
Secondary winnings will be transferred to your account after receipt of the prize from the official lottery operator. Some lotteries have different prize collection procedures. In these cases, Customer Support Team will guide you through the collection process until you receive your winnings. You may use your winnings for future participation in lottery draws or withdraw all, or part of the winnings with your designated payment method.
Jackpot winners may be required to collect the prize in person from the official lottery operator, in which case MagicLotto may choose to fly the winner there. If you are the winner of a major lottery prize you will be given information how to collect your prize.
Secondary wins are transferred directly to your winnings account after receipt of the prize from the official lottery operator. You will receive email notification when your winnings are deposited in your account so that you can use them for future participation in lottery draws, or you can choose to withdraw them.
No. If you win a lottery prize on tickets purchased at MagicLotto, no information about our winners are published on our site. If you win a lottery jackpot, the requirements of the official lottery organisation apply.
All winnings on lottery tickets purchased at MagicLotto are paid out commission-free, regardless of the amount. If you choose to withdraw your lottery winnings, a bank transfer fee from your bank is applied.
Many countries pay out lottery wins tax-free. For those countries that tax lottery wins, the rate varies widely.
MagicLotto is required to pay taxes on lottery wins in accordance with the laws of the country or state where the ticket was purchased.
You can find more information regarding the tax requirements for the lotteries we offer on our Lottery Taxes page. Please feel free to contact our customer support team with any questions regarding taxation.
When you win the jackpot, we will immediately notify you and a member of our customer support team will contact you directly to coordinate the collection of your prize. In the case of a jackpot win, MagicLotto may choose to pay your travel expenses to the location where the ticket was purchased. There, you will receive the ticket from our local office manager in the presence of MagicLotto's legal team and proceed to the official lottery organisation to collect your prize in person.
Certain lotteries offer jackpot winners a choice between receiving their prize as an annuity or as a cash lump sum payment. If you choose the annuity option, your prize will be paid out in instalments over a fixed number of years. If you request the cash lump sum option, you will receive the entire prize up front. Lump sum payments are less than the total amount given to a winner in annuity payments, with the amount varying according to lottery policy. In addition, some lottery prizes are taxed at source, so the take home prize will actually be much less than the advertised jackpot.
Some lotteries allow winners to remain completely anonymous, while others require some degree of public disclosure. For lotteries that require a winner to disclose their identity, it is often for transparency purposes. By making public the identities of winners, a lottery can show that the winners are real, have no connection to the lottery, and that all ticket holders have an equal chance of winning.
Below is the list of lotteries available on MagicLotto that allow jackpot winners to claim their prize anonymously:
Europe - EuroJackpot
South Africa - Daily Lotto
South Africa – Lotto / Plus 1 / Plus 2
South Africa – Powerball / Plus
Italy - SuperEnalotto
Winners who wish to remain anonymous for security reasons may be able to receive an exemption to a lottery's disclosure requirements.
Regardless of a lottery's specific disclosure requirements, MagicLotto will never disclose a winner's identity without their consent.
Winning a substantial amount of money has life-changing implications and Magiclotto recommends that winners consult with financial and legal experts to prepare for and take advantage of their good fortune fully.
Please feel free to contact our customer support team with any questions regarding anonymity.
To win a lottery jackpot, all of the numbers on your lottery ticket must match those selected in the draw. If your numbers constitute a partial match with those drawn, you could be entitled to a secondary prize, but this is dependent on the specific lottery’s rules and prize divisions.
If you think that your ticket entitles you to a prize, check to make sure that your matching numbers are all in the same line. Please keep in mind that each line you purchase is an independent unit. Also, make sure that you are comparing your ticket with the results of the correct lottery draw and the date you played.
If you are still unsure whether your ticket is eligible for a lottery prize, please contact us.

Responsible gaming means staying in control of the amount of time and the amount of money spent on gaming. MagicLotto recommends that all customers establish limits for participating in lottery draws, and that they do not turn to lotteries as a source of income or as a way to recoup debt.
In addition, MagicLotto strictly enforces a minimum age limit for our customers. Anyone under the age of 18 years is stringently prohibited from registering an account and using our service (and in some jurisdictions, you may be prohibited from playing lotteries even when you're older than 18).
MagicLotto strongly recommends that its customers be fully aware of the signs of problematic gaming behaviour and limit their play accordingly.
MagicLotto encourages its customers to contact the Responsible Gambling Foundation if you feel you need support. We don’t want you to spend more than you can afford and we want you to stay in control of your gaming.
There’s no way that you can win a lottery that you didn’t play. If you are contacted by someone you don’t know suggesting that you won a lottery, be suspicious. Even emails sent to you that seem to be coming from a genuine email address are most likely fraudulent. No official lottery would contact you about winning a prize because lotteries do not know that you, or any other individual, has purchased a ticket to participate in its draw.
For additional information about lottery scams see: WLA Scam Protection (world-lotteries.org)
There are a number of ways you can protect yourself.
- Never click on links in suspicious emails, and do not respond to them.
- Never give out your personal information, bank account details, or any other financial information. No real organization would require this if you won a real lottery prize.
- Do not allow anyone you don’t know to collect or transfer winnings on your behalf.
- Do not pay any ‘processing fee’ in order to claim a lottery prize.
- Do not agree to assist someone you don’t know in collecting their prize.
- Beware of offers from strangers, including on social media, to share their winnings.
- There is no way to guarantee that you will win a lottery prize. Do not agree to any offer suggesting otherwise.
If you receive an email suggesting that you won a lottery prize, be suspicious, even if the email appears to be genuine. No official lottery would contact you in this manner. Do not respond to this email and do not click on any links in the message.
When we inform you of lottery winnings, you can login to your account and verify the winning notification yourself.

Sportstake 4 is a South African National Lottery soccer prediction game where players predict the outcomes of four predetermined matches.
For each match, you make two predictions:
- Half-time result – Which team is leading or if the match is a draw at half-time.
- Full-time result – The match result after 90 minutes plus referee added time (extra time and penalties are excluded).
This means you make a total of eight predictions across the four fixtures.
To play Sportstake 4 online:
- Select the predicted outcome (1, X or 2) for both Half-time and Full-time for each of the four matches.
- Each selection combination forms one board (entry).
- The official ticket price is R2.00 per board.
Draws typically take place every Monday and Thursday, once all matches in the fixture have been completed and verified.
- 1 – Home team wins
- X – Draw
- 2 – Away team wins
Sportstake 4 has three prize divisions based on the number of correct predictions:
- Division 1: Match all 8 results (Half-time and Full-time)
- Division 2: Match 7 results
- Division 3: Match 6 results
The overall odds of winning a Sportstake 4 prize are approximately 1 in 505. Prize payouts are based on the total prize pool for each draw.
If no participant wins Division 1 (the Jackpot), the prize amount rolls over to the next draw, increasing the Jackpot. There is no fixed limit to the number of consecutive rollovers.
- An Estimated Jackpot is calculated based on projected ticket sales.
- A Guaranteed Jackpot is a minimum Division 1 prize amount offered for a specific draw, regardless of sales.
- If the estimated jackpot exceeds the guaranteed amount due to rollovers, the higher value applies.
If a match is suspended or postponed after kick-off and an official result is declared before the draw is finalised, that official result will be used. If no official result is available, the outcome is determined according to official game rules.
Yes. Winners have 365 days from the draw date to claim their prize, in accordance with National Lottery regulations.
