SOUTH AFRICA / INDEPENDENT VISITOR GUIDE
Lottery tickets and bets on results
An official ticket and a bookmaker’s lottery-result wager have different contracts and claims processes.
For a ticket, identify the authorised issuer, draw, ticket number and prize-claim process. A results wager is settled under the bookmaker’s own rules. Check whether the particular product is locally authorised; a bookmaker licence is not proof of every possible activity. Do not assume a third-party site contributes to the National Lottery distribution fund.
