South Africa’s Lotto Results: Did Anyone Strike the Big Jackpot?
Another Saturday whirlwind gripped South Africa as hopefuls awaited the Lotto results on 8 February 2025. If you were one of the almost three million players who put your faith in a handful of numbers, you probably want to know how things played out. Here's what went down and who walked away richer—or at least with a little something extra in their pockets.
The main Lotto draw served up the numbers 01, 04, 14, 17, 20, 34, and a bonus of 50. Lotto Plus 1 gave players 01, 15, 28, 30, 33, 50 (with 21 as the bonus ball). Meanwhile, Lotto Plus 2 hit back with 18, 21, 35, 39, 41, 51, with a bonus ball of 30. If your slip matches those numbers, go check your ticket fast—there might be a treat waiting for you.
But let’s get to the heart of it: the jackpots. The main Lotto stood at a staggering R8,106,739.24. Lotto Plus 1 tempted players with R2,774,760.84. And, not to be outdone, Lotto Plus 2 came in at a cool R1,000,000.00. For dreamers and veterans alike, it was a lineup that made any ticket feel like a golden opportunity.
Winners, Payouts, and Surging Ticket Sales
If you’re wondering whether anyone nabbed the top prize, here’s the cold truth—there wasn’t a single Division 1 winner this week. That means the massive main jackpot will just keep rolling over, growing bigger and more irresistible. But all hope wasn't lost for others. Division 2, where you need five numbers and the bonus ball, saw three lucky players each snag a sweet R28,586.90.
Winners for five numbers alone weren’t left behind either. Sixty-one individuals scooped up R2,445.10 apiece, and nearly a hundred more matched four numbers and the bonus, netting R1,883.20 each. Even if you just got three numbers, you walked away with a modest R50. It all adds up—a total of R3,895,710.50 was shared among 80,009 players. That’s not bad when you consider more than 2.9 million tickets were in the mix, with sales alone raking in R14,705,625 for the night.
If you’re holding onto a winning slip, there’s good news: you’ve got until 8 February 2026 to collect your prize. Don’t let the deadline slip by and end up kicking yourself a year from now. All draws were processed using the RNG 3 machine, and Ithuba kept things ticking along as the official operator. Just remember, you need to be at least 18 to play, and responsible gaming is always encouraged—no jackpot is worth your peace of mind.
As the next draw approaches, those untouched jackpots are waiting to tempt old regulars and first-timers alike. Could you be the next millionaire, or will the prize pool just get fatter for another week? Whatever happens, the results are clear: for South Africa, Saturday’s Lotto is always a big deal.
