· The South African
Wednesday, 26 August’s Lotto draw came and went without a jackpot winner, but the numbers still delivered for thousands of players across the country.
The winning Lotto numbers drawn on Wednesday were 3, 8, 17, 19, 26, 46, plus the bonus ball of 12.

No single ticket matched all six numbers, meaning the jackpot rolls over once again for Saturday’s draw and now sits at an estimated R20 million.
The Lotto Plus 1 draw saw 13, 18, 23, 32, 33, 45 plus the bonus ball of 5 drawn. It too went without a top-prize winner, though four players did walk away with R60 106.80 each after matching five numbers plus the bonus ball.
Finally, the Lotto Max 5 jackpot was also not won. Those numbers were 9, 26, 34, 47, 50, 51 while the bonus ball was 48.
A big night beyond just the jackpot
The jackpots may have rolled over, but Wednesday’s draw was still a good one for plenty of players.
More than 68 000 winners shared in prizes across both draws combined, with roughly 49 482 Lotto Plus 1 players alone taking home something.
Imagine being one of those 68 000 people who checked their ticket and actually won something. Not the big one, but still a proper Wednesday win.
Do you play every draw regardless of the jackpot size, or only when it climbs high enough to be worth it?
