The lottery is a multimillion-Rand competition which provides punters with an opportunity to win huge sums of money. The South African National Lottery operated by Ithuba Holdings (RF) is one of many in the world. This is still South Africa's most popular type of gambling despite the growth of Powerball. Here is some information on other options available to gamblers in South Africa.

The digital era has allowed gambling companies to spread their wings across borders. An example is Africa Millions, which pays out every week in more than six countries. Payouts are over 50 million Euros on Wednesdays and 100 million Euros on Sundays.

South Africans are able to play the world's biggest lotteries online, including the USA's Mega Millions. The appeal of this is that there are greater amounts of money on offer here than in the South African National Lottery.
