Lottoland SA started the week on another high note with ‘Herzlichen Glückwunsch’ – saying ‘heartfelt congratulations’, to the lucky punter from Mpumalanga who has just won R16,7m on the Tier 2 bet he placed on the outcome of the German Lotto. The winner could hardly believe it when Maryke Haywood, the head of marketing for Lottoland SA called him with the good news. Within 72 hours of receiving the phone call, his winnings were paid into his nominated South African bank account, proving again how easy, quick and efficient the winning process is on Lottoland SA!

The German Lotto is a very popular option on the South African platform, and it has in fact produced more winners here than any of more than 30 other international lotteries available on Lottoland SA. Although it’s one of the biggest events in Europe, a Lottoland bet of as little as R25 gets you in the running for the main draw. Known in Germany as 6-aus-49 (six from 49), the drawn takes place twice a week – on Wednesdays at 19.25 and Saturdays at 20:25.

More than 18.5 million people around the world are regular customers of Lottoland and in South Africa, punters have access to more than 30 international lotteries. Lottoland South Africa is a licensed bookmaker with the Western Cape Gambling and racing board. Punters can have peace of mind to know that the payouts of their winnings are 100% guaranteed in line with Lottoland’s Terms and Conditions and the official payout tables published by each individual operator for every single event. Lottoland is recognized around the globe, with an international head office based in Gibraltar.

Lottoland takes you from Germany to Spain, where Christmas comes twice a year - thanks to the El Gordo de Verano draw on the first Saturday of July! El Gordo de Verano is the summer version of Spain's famous Spanish Christmas lottery - known as the ‘biggest, fattest’ lottery draw in Spain. It works more like a traditional raffle than a regular lottery, giving Lottoland fans an excellent chance of winning one of the 36,300 individual prizes to be drawn. Each bet carries a 5-digit number, and on Lottoland SA you may choose to purchase a whole ticket, or a share at a fraction of the price pool of R2,4 billion, with a 1% fractional bet for as little as R80.

You have an incredible 1-in-3 chance of winning and if you predict the winning numbers, you’ll be paid out as you would have had you entered the official El Gordo de Verano draw in Spain, winning the exact same prize values, including the main prize. The El Gordo de Verano draw takes place on Saturday 6 July, giving you until the 5th of July to place your bet via the Lottoland SA platform. So don’t wait for Christmas…
