How to Play

South Africa Raffle tickets can cost R20, R25 or R50 each, depending on the draw, and are available to buy online or from any authorised South Africa National Lottery retailers, as well as RA Cellular and A2Pay channels. Tickets for the 2019 draw cost R50 each and 500,000 went on sale.

Players, who must be over the age of 18 to take part, are able to purchase as many entries as they would like, but Raffle ticket sales will close once the final ticket has been sold as there are only a limited number. Should any tickets remain unsold, sales will close half an hour prior to the draw being made.

When players buy a ticket, they are presented with a unique raffle code. On the night of the draw, a predetermined number of codes are randomly selected, and anyone who has a matching ticket will win the corresponding prize.

How to Claim Prizes

Players can check to see if they have won a prize after a draw has taken place, either by looking at the results online or by going to an authorised retailer and having their ticket scanned.

Anyone who wins a prize of up to R2,000 can claim their money from a National Lottery retailer. Prizes of between R2,000 and R 50,000 can be claimed from Post Offices or authorised National Lottery payment centres. Larger prizes and non-cash rewards such as cars must be claimed from one of the National Lottery's regional offices.

Players have one year from the date of a raffle in which to claim any prize.
