About the Drivetime draw

Naming the draws after parts of the day — Brunchtime, Lunchtime, Drivetime, Teatime — gives players an intuitive sense of when to expect each broadcast and helps casual players keep track without checking a schedule.

How to play Drivetime

Place a Drivetime bet at a licensed SA operator: pick 1 to 5 numbers from 1–49, decide on the Booster, set your stake and confirm. Fixed odds apply, so the maximum payout is locked in before the draw. Many regulars use Drivetime as a "second chance" after the Lunchtime result, either pressing a winning approach or cooling off with a smaller stake.

Drivetime prizes and fixed-odds payouts

Drivetime payouts use the same fixed-odds structure as UK 49s and Brunchtime. Indicative: 6/1 for 1 number, 60/1 for 2, 600/1 for 3, 8,000/1 for 4 and around 100,000/1 for 5 numbers without the Booster. Operator-specific Drivetime promotions occasionally enhance payouts on certain bet types.

Strategy and responsible-play tips

Drivetime sits between two big draws (Lunchtime in the afternoon and Teatime in the evening), so it is the easiest draw to over-bet — players who lost on Lunchtime sometimes "press" their stake on Drivetime to chase the loss. Resist this. Set a daily budget split across all four draws and stick to it.
