Understanding draw times
South African lottery draws (SA Lotto, PowerBall, Daily Lotto) all happen at 21:00 SAST on their scheduled days. Results are typically available on LottoNow within minutes of the draw.
UK 49s draws happen on UK time. Because South Africa is ahead of the UK, the SAST times shift between British Summer Time (BST, March–October) and UK winter (October–March). During BST, UK times are one hour ahead of SAST — during UK winter, they're two hours ahead.
The times shown on LottoNow are always in SAST, so you never need to do mental conversions.
When to check your results
- SA Lotto, PowerBall, Daily Lotto: Check after 21:30 SAST on draw days
- UK 49s Teatime: Check after ~19:00 SAST (BST) or ~20:00 SAST (winter)
- UK 49s Lunchtime: Check after ~14:00 SAST (BST) or ~15:00 SAST (winter)
- Brunchtime: Check after ~13:00 SAST
- Drivetime: Check after ~18:00 SAST
