FAQs

What’s the catch? How can it be free to enter?
We're similar to a lottery, but our draws are free-to-play and always will be, so we're not gambling. Instead of coming from ticket sales, the prize money is generated by ad revenue on the site, which is itself generated by the traffic caused by users checking the draw to see if they've won. It works like a free newspaper, or free-to-air TV channel.
How are numbers chosen?
Winning numbers are selected at random by our algorithm. Our results page updates instantly after each draw.
Will I receive loads of spam emails?
Nope. We’ll never share your details unless you say it’s ok and we’ll only use your email address to send you a Magic Link to login and results and draw reminders if you’ve opted-in for them.
How do I check the draws?
Just visit the results page. You can also visit the Play History page when you’re logged in to see your selections and which were matched.
How do I claim my prize?
You will receive your Takealot online voucher automatically to the email address you registered with.
Are you in any way associated with the UK 49’s?
No. Other than the mechanics of 6 balls + a bonus ball being drawn from 1-49, we have no similarities or connections with the UK 49’s.
