A player won the R10,443,099.80 Lotto jackpot in the draw held on Saturday, 7 November 2026, correctly predicting the six numbers 7, 26, 40, 42, 43 and 46. The winner has not been named.
Why it matters
The win shows how large Lotto jackpots can grow before a single winning ticket claims them. The jackpots reset for the next draw, giving South African players another chance at the prizes.
The Lotto jackpot paid R10,443,099.80 to one winner, while the Lotto 5 Max jackpot paid R938,626.60 to a single winner. The Lotto Plus 1 jackpot, estimated at R2.3 million, had no winners, and the winner's identity has not been disclosed.

Industry Dynamics
Under the National Lotteries Act, South Africa's national lottery draws continue on fixed schedules, with jackpots resetting after each win. Rollover jackpots such as this one, which grew before being claimed, are a recurring feature of the Lotto games.
Players who want to enter the next draw can do so on Tuesday, 10 November 2026, when the jackpots reset to lower estimated amounts. The reset means the Lotto jackpot starts again at about R2 million, so the prize pool will need to grow before the next big win.
The takeaway
Lotto players should note that jackpots reset after each draw and start from lower estimated amounts. Checking draw results on the official National Lottery channels helps players confirm their numbers quickly.
What happens next
The Lotto jackpot resets to an estimated R2 million, the Lotto Plus 1 jackpot to an estimated R3 million and the Lotto 5 Max jackpot to an estimated R500,000 for the next draw on Tuesday, 10 November 2026.
