LottoStar.co.za is the answer to many South Africans’ prayers for bigger jackpot games – albeit with a slight, refreshing twist. We all know what the traditional method entails; taking a few minutes out from your hectic schedule to make your way down to your nearest vendor, where you then play your lucky numbers in the hopes of winning an often-mediocre jackpot prize – and let’s not get started on those long queues on big draw days.
So, who exactly is LottoStar, and what are they all about?
In a nutshell, they are an online fixed-odds betting service – and a rather good one at that. A revolutionary concept and the first of its kind in South Africa, their operation has been licensed and approved by the Mpumalanga Gambling and Racing Board. What does this mean for us?
Well, quality assurance of an above-board product for starters; but more importantly, the chance to be genuinely excited for guaranteed jackpot prizes of up to R160,000,000 – that’s a nine-digit win right there!
What makes this even more appealing, is that for as little as R3.50 for a single entry, you’re able to play for the jackpot prize of your choosing. With a total of six games being available for unlimited entry to registered players, you’re actually left quite spoilt for choice. It’s a 50/50 split; there are three mega-jackpot games, and three instant-jackpot games – so let’s take a quick look at both playing options.
The three big-ticket jackpot games on LottoStar.co.za are as follows: The EuroMillions, Spanish Daily, and SuperEnaLotto games – and all in varying flavours of guaranteed jackpot prizes. The great thing about each one of these games is that the play options are flexible; you are actually able to determine not only how much you’d like to spend on your entry, but how much you’d actually like to win as well – we think this is great!
The “baby” of the three is the EuroMillions game, where you are able to play for R25,000,000 all the way up to R75,000,000; with the draws taking place every Tuesday and Thursday. Now, winning R75mil already sounds good enough – but it gets better.
In their Spanish Daily game (and one that’s unique to LottoStar), registered players are able to take advantage of the game’s R30,000,000 to R90,000,000 jackpot prize. That’s phenomenal; but the icing on the cake is that as the name implies, these draws happen daily – every Monday till Saturday! This is another first for South Africa, daily guaranteed jackpot draws; but then again, we noticed a good few “firsts” from these guys.
The SuperEnaLotto game is the one we’re particularly interested in though; seeing as that massive nine-digit jackpot prize win comes courtesy via this game.
As far as the instant-jackpot games go, another first for our market are the range of Kino games – and again, there are various jackpot options available. The advertised jackpot prizes may be smaller, but this is because these games are drawn every 5 minutes – can you believe that? Literally, within the next 5 minutes, you could become up to R3,000,000 richer!
LottoStar.co.za has also recently teamed up with popular SA radio jock and comedian, Darren Whackhead Simpson, to launch yet another incredible promotion – a massive iPhone 6 giveaway promotion. With a total of 90 devices being awarded to players (a device a day), the promotion is well under way, with disbelieving winners still not convinced that they’ve actually won right up until the moment they rip the packaging off their prizes.
Overall, LottoStar.co.za is quite impressive; and a website well worth a checkout at the very least. Who knows – perhaps you might become South Africa’s newest multimillionaire!
