Nobody cares about R19, I mean come on, that’s like a loaf of bread, so it’s easy to not think too much when you’re placing a bet. The price is so small you don’t even realise when you click on a few different options because all of them “only” cost a little bit. On YesPlay, RSA Lotto Plus 2 is waiting for you in the Lucky Numbers section as a 6/58 draw with a bonus ball. The price and the returns you’ll be getting are clear from the beginning, so don’t stress about there being any dirty tricks.
Draw basics
When playing the main lottery draw you pick numbers and wait for the six balls to drop along with the bonus ball. On YesPlay, you also get extra options like Odd/Even, Highest/Lowest and Bonus Ball pick. This is where many people get confused and blame the lottery for their misclicks.
Bonus ball trap
Here’s a heads up: Some games will include the bonus ball and some will not. If you go for “numbers (bonus ball excluded)”, then that means it doesn’t matter if you match that ball or not. If you want that ball to matter, then you’ll need to select a different option. Want to take a look at the different menus? You can read more here and check how each label is written. This will save you a lot of frustration.
Bet like this
If you’re spending money on lotteries, it’s always good to keep a cool head and figure out exactly what it is that you’re paying for. Like for example, on YesPlay, if you see 7.50 for “1 ball (bonus ball included)” and you bet R23 there, you can get R172.50 back if lady luck is on your side. But you should always remember to compare the prizes before betting. Think about it this way, is it better to put all your eggs in one basket or spread small amounts of money across many different bets and figure out what gives you a better chance? If you don’t think about it that way, your balance will be gone before you even realize it.
