Lotto Plus 2 Results (Now Lotto 5 Max)

Lotto 5 Max is drawn at 21:00 South African time, Wednesday and Saturday. Winning numbers appear on this page within minutes of the draw. The prize breakdown follows later, usually a few hours afterwards, because the operator has to reconcile ticket sales before it can confirm what each division pays.

6 main numbers from 1 to 52, plus a bonus. The bonus ball is taken from the numbers left in the same pool, so it is never one of the main numbers.

1 in 20,358,520 with a single ticket. That is the number of different ways 6 numbers can be chosen from 52. Your chance of winning any prize at all is better, at roughly 1 in 38.2. Full odds for every division are on our Lotto 5 Max payouts and odds page.

The easiest division is Match 2 + Bonus, and across the draws in our database it has typically paid about R15.00. It is a small return, but it is also by far the most commonly won division.

It draws on the same nights as before, as an optional addition to the main ticket. If you have been looking for Lotto Plus 2 results and finding nothing recent, this is why.

Yes. Our ticket checker checks your numbers against the most recent draw, and every past draw we hold has its own page with the winning numbers on it. Browse them from the Lotto 5 Max results history. Bear in mind prizes have a claim deadline, so an old ticket may no longer be claimable even if it matched.

No. Each draw is independent, so a number that has come up often is no more likely to appear tonight than one that never has. We publish hot and cold numbers because they are interesting and because they show whether the draw looks fair, not as a system. Be wary of anyone selling predictions.
