You don’t need to be a rocket scientist to figure out Lucky Numbers. A lot of South African players hear “numbers draw” and immediately think of all the local jackpot games with confusing rules. If you’ve had similar thoughts, then you should know that “The more people win, the less I get” is not always the case.
When you bet on YesPlay, you are betting on fixed odds. This means that whatever the payout is at the moment you place the bet slip is exactly what you’re going to get. If you’re using the YesPlay app, you’ll be able to see the exact payout on your screen.
- Myth #1: “The more people who win, the less money you get.”
Truth: Regardless of how many other players are playing, your prizes will always depend on the numbers you picked. If those numbers are drawn, you’ll be paid what was offered when you placed your bet.
- Myth #2: “If you missed the draw, you’ve lost your chance.”
Truth: You can always come back to YesPlay and check what the draw results were in case you forgot to watch the livestream.
- Myth #3: “If you made a mistake when you typed the stake, it’s gone.”
Truth: Don’t stress if you accidentally made a mistake. If you entered the wrong amount, you can always cancel the bet and your money will be returned to your account. That doesn’t mean you shouldn’t double-check before you finalize everything.
Practical stuff that might help you out: If you can’t be arsed doing anything, you can click on the Quick Pick button. You can also check previous draws without spending ages searching on Google. And, who knows, maybe you’ll get lucky and find some YesPlay bonuses that will make your first lottery ticket a bit cheaper.
