Jackpot WIN spells bad news for R8-million Lotto and Lotto Plus on Saturday 21 June 2026
· The South African
Unfortunately, Lotto and Lotto Plus on Saturday 21 June 2026 will only be worth a lowly R8 million in prizes. This is since new operator Sizekhaya confirmed a mid-week winner of the Lotto Max 5. Total prizes were worth R24 million after a winner last week walked away with R23.5 million, too.

As such, Lotto and Lotto Plus on Saturday 21 June 2026 is derived from R3.2 million for Lotto, R4.5 million for Lotto Plus 1 and just R500 000 for the reset Lotto Max 5. This means the mid-week winner walked away with roughly R17 million from one of the three draws.

Interestingly, Sizekhaya’s new tiered-jackpot game mechanics have been criticised since coming into effect this month. The ‘cascading’ jackpot does not appear to be working for weekly PowerBall games. However, there have been numerous Lotto and Lotto Plus wins since the new operator took over.
As such, let’s look back at this week’s numbers that provided the R17-million winner on Wednesday 17 June 2026. And don’t forget to double-check HERE if you’re want to confirm your ticket numbers.

R8-MILLION LOTTO AND LOTTO PLUS ON SATURDAY 21 JUNE 2026

And they perhaps explain why there have been so many winners in the ‘lower’ lotto game. Players now choose six different numbers between 1 and 52. As ever, there’s the option to select your own numbers or to do so randomly, otherwise known as Quick Pick. Meanwhile, a new feature is selecting one extra number at 7x the ticket price (called MP1).
Prizes are awarded to players who match at least three of the six drawn numbers, with prizes increasing for more matching numbers. As such, players who match all six drawn numbers win equal shares of the jackpot. The odds of this are 1 in 20 358 520. Sounds great, however, the jackpots are rarely rolling over to large numbers like they did before. As ever, you can buy tickets in-store at any licensed retailer. Alternatively, you can enter online by creating an account or through the mobile app.
