When you play, South Africa wins.”

Players are urged not to miss out on the chance to become the next multi-millionaire. Tickets are readily available from National Lottery retailers nationwide, the official National Lottery website, the mobile app, and secure banking channels. However, due to expected high demand, consumers are advised to act quickly! Sales will close at 8.30pm today, so ensure your entry is submitted before the cut-off. 

As the countdown to the draw intensifies, the message is clear: play now, dream big, and win bigger. Remember, players must be 18 years or older, and it’s essential to play responsibly.
