How to Play UK49’s Lunchtime

UK49’s Lunchtime is a draw game where six main numbers and a Booster Ball are drawn from a pool of 1 to 49. Your goal is to match numbers with those randomly selected in a given draw.

The game differs from other lotteries in two key ways. Firstly, there is no fixed ticket cost. Instead, you choose how much you want to bet, with the size of your bet determining how much you could win.

Secondly, you can choose how many numbers you want to try and match, from one to five.

This lets you play the game however you want, whether you want to win a smaller prize for matching just one of the numbers or a substantial sum for matching all five. The catch is that in order to win, you have to match all the numbers you pick. If you pick three numbers, you must match all three, and you would not win a prize for matching any fewer.

Prizes and Odds of Winning UK 49 In South Africa

UK49's Lunchtime draws do not have fixed prices. Instead, they use a “pure odds” prize structure, where the amount you bet and the odds of winning directly affect the prize you win. If you were to bet R10 on matching two numbers in a six-number draw at odds of 66/1, for instance, you could win R660.

You must choose to enter either the six-number draw or the seven-number draw. Seven-number draws incorporate the Booster Ball, giving you an extra number to match yours with. The odds are shorter in a seven-number draw, as it is easier to win, but the returns are also lower. For example, if you wagered R10 on matching two numbers in a seven-number draw, you would win R450, but in a six-number draw, the same bet would win you R660.
