How to Watch South African Lottery Draws on TV and Online
If you’ve got a ticket for a South African National Lottery draw, you can find out if your numbers have matched the winning numbers by watching the results on television. Tune in to the channel that is covering the latest Lotto or PowerBall draw and you’ll be able to discover instantly if you’ve landed that jackpot or another prize. Draws in South Africa are conducted using a random number generator rather than a traditional ball machine, but you'll still see a video of the numbers being picked one at a time.
