There’s something timeless about the thrill of a lottery. Whether it’s choosing your own lucky six or placing a bet on a result halfway across the world, there’s always that spark of “what if?” At Easybet, Lucky Numbers takes the traditional lottery concept and flips it into something much more flexible—and a whole lot more exciting.
Instead of the traditional hassle of buying tickets at the corner shop and waiting in line, you can now bet on real draws from over 150 countries—all without ever leaving the Easybet platform. These aren’t just obscure, hard-to-pronounce lotteries. We’re talking UK 49s, Gosloto, Powerball, Mega Millions, and other big names. It’s all about putting the power in your hands, making international lotteries more accessible than ever.
Let’s unpack what South African punters can expect inside the Lucky Numbers section—and why this part of the site is sneakily one of Easybet’s best.
One Page. Hundreds of Draws.
Open the “Lucky Numbers” tab and brace yourself. You’re hit with a full-page grid of upcoming lotteries. Everything is filterable—by country, draw time, favourite picks, or even alphabetically.
Each entry includes:
- The lottery name
- The flag of the host country
- Countdown timer till the next draw
- A small arrow revealing more info, odds, and bet types
This streamlined approach means that whether you’re waiting on the Irish Lotto or hunting something exotic like the Polish Keno, it’s all in one spot.
South Africa Represented
Let’s start local: Easybet supports South African Daily Lotto, Powerball, and Powerball Plus. These draws are quick, trusted, and beloved across the country.
- Daily Lotto: Drawn every single day at 21:00. You choose 5 numbers from 1 to 36. It’s popular because the jackpot is guaranteed to be paid out—there’s no rollover.
- Powerball SA: The big dog. Players pick 5 main numbers (1-50) and a Powerball (1-20). Jackpots can stretch into the hundreds of millions.
- Powerball Plus: Same rules as Powerball, but gives you a second chance at winning for a fraction of the cost. Double your luck, basically.
Betting on these through Easybet skips the National Lottery ticketing system, letting you focus purely on predicting numbers and pocketing winnings based on odds, not ticket matches.
The Big Internationals
Some lotteries are household names—and you’ll find them here, ready for betting:
- UK 49s (Lunch & Teatime) – Possibly the most iconic betting-focused lottery. Held twice daily, with flexible betting options (1-6 numbers). Payouts are based on fixed odds rather than pool size, which makes it ideal for quick returns.
- Russia Gosloto 6/45 & 7/49 – These run almost non-stop. You’ll see a Gosloto draw every few hours, which makes it perfect if you’re the type who doesn’t want to wait around for days.
- Greek Kino – Run every 5 minutes. Yes, every five. Based on 20 balls drawn from 80, this is one of the fastest and most frequently played number games globally. Great for rapid-fire bettors.
- Irish Lotto – Draws every Wednesday and Saturday. Simple and familiar: pick 6 numbers out of 47. Known for solid jackpots and being statistically a bit more generous than other European lotteries.
- Mega Millions & US Powerball – Two American monsters. While you won’t be in the official ticket pool, betting on the outcome still gets you access to massive win potential. Both draw twice a week and are known for headline-grabbing jackpots over R10 billion (no typo).
Some Niche Favourites Worth Knowing
- Canada Lotto Max – Maxed-out prizes, typically drawn on Fridays. Known for its creative cap system—jackpots roll over until they hit R1 billion, then flow into secondary prizes.
- German Keno – Straightforward, frequent, and lower risk. You choose how many numbers to play and how much you want to win. It’s flexible and forgiving, perfect for cautious punters.
- Italy SuperEnalotto – Infamous for its near-impossible odds… and gigantic payouts. If you want to dream big (and we mean really big), this is your table.
- France Loto – Held three times a week, this draw is popular in betting circles due to consistent payout structures and decent odds on smaller matches.
Betting on Lucky Numbers vs. Buying Tickets
Here’s the kicker: you’re not technically buying a lottery ticket at Easybet. Instead, you’re betting on the outcome of the draw. That means:
- No need to register with the actual lottery
- Payouts are based on fixed odds (listed upfront)
- Winnings don’t depend on total ticket sales
- You can bet on how many numbers you’ll match—1, 2, 3, or more
- Flexibility to bet on numbers, colors, odds/evens, and combinations
In many ways, this approach feels more like sports betting than old-school lotto, and it allows for more strategy and control over your stake-to-reward ratio.

Final Thoughts
There’s something wildly satisfying about placing a bet on a draw in Moscow or Dublin and watching the results trickle in moments later. Easybet’s Lucky Numbers turns what used to be a passive, once-a-week affair into something fast, interactive, and dare we say—fun.
And because you’re betting fixed odds instead of relying on prize pools, you know exactly what you stand to win before you even lock in your bet. That’s a level of transparency and flexibility the old paper ticket just can’t match.
Whether you’re chasing the lunchtime UK 49s, spinning the wheel with Greek Kino, or trying your luck on SA’s Daily Lotto, the Lucky Numbers section is worth a regular visit. It’s international gambling made local, and honestly, it fits perfectly with how we like to play.
