1. Draws all day, every day
South Africa's own Lotto is drawn twice a week, on Wednesdays and Saturdays. Gosloto runs draws around the clock — we recorded 96 draws across all games yesterday. For players that means there is almost always a result coming up within minutes, not days.
2. Shorter odds than SA Lotto
Matching every number in Gosloto 5/36 is a 1 in 376,992 chance. Matching all six numbers in SA Lotto (6 from 52) is 1 in 20,358,520. Even the toughest Gosloto game, 7/49, sits at 1 in 85,900,584 — the right choice depends on whether you prefer frequent small wins or long-shot jackpots.
| Game | Numbers drawn | Odds of matching every number |
|---|---|---|
| Gosloto 4/20 | Four numbers from 1 to 20 in each of two separate fields | 1 in 23,474,025 |
| Gosloto 5/36 | Five numbers from 1 to 36 | 1 in 376,992 |
| Gosloto 6/45 | Six numbers from 1 to 45 | 1 in 8,145,060 |
| Gosloto 7/49 | Seven numbers from 1 to 49 | 1 in 85,900,584 |
| Gosloto 5/50 | Five numbers from 1 to 50 | 1 in 2,118,760 |

3. Small stakes at local bookmakers
South African betting sites offer Gosloto as a lucky-numbers market. Instead of buying a full Russian ticket, you can bet on one, two or more numbers with fixed odds, for whatever stake suits your budget.
4. Plenty of choice
With several games running side by side — 4/20 with its two fields, the fast 5/36 draws, 6/45, 7/49 and 5/50 — players can switch between quick, frequent draws and bigger long-shot combinations.
5. Results you can check in seconds
Every bet settles on the official Gosloto numbers. Each result on this site keeps its official draw number and time, so matching a draw to your bet slip takes seconds. Our guide shows how to check a ticket step by step.
