Sponsored Content: Why are UK49s and Gosloto lotteries so popular in South Africa?
Lucky Numbers is one of the most popular betting products in South Africa and one of the main reasons is because South Africans do not have any legal way of betting on the international lotteries like Megamillions, UK49s , Russia Gosloto and several others and Lucky Numbers gives punters the opportunity to bet on most of the most popular international lotteries.
It is important to mention that Lucky Numbers is not the same as the actual lottery because when you are betting on Lucky Numbers, you will be betting on the numbers that will be drawn and as a result, if you win, you will claim your money from the bookmaker rather than the actual lotto itself.
Punters enjoy betting on Lucky Numbers more than the actual lotto because Lucky Numbers offers punters with several opportunities of winning since there a various betting markets in Lucky Numbers betting, For example, with Lotto, you can just bet on the numbers for that particular lotto, but Lucky Numbers gives you more options to bet on namely; 1 Number, 2 Numbers, 3 Numbers, 4 Numbers, Bonus Ball and several others.
As earlier stated, there is a huge pool of Lucky Numbers draws but the UK49's and the Russian Goslotto are probably the most popular Lucky Numbers draw games among the
South African punters. This article seeks to investigate the reasons why South African punters particularly prefer btting on these two Lucky Numbers draw games.
UK 49’s Lottery
UK49's is a lottery draw game from the United Kingdom which has two draws called the UK49's Lunchtime and UK49's Teatime which are drawn daily at 12:49 (GMT) and 17:49 (GMT) respectively. The UK49's uses the matrix 6/49 and there is a bonus ball as well.
Please note that all balls (main numbers and the bonus ball) are drawn from one pot containing balls numbered 1 - 49
The UK49's is arguably the most popular Lucky Numbers draw game in South Africa and one of the main reasons why this draw game is popular might be because it offers two daily draws, giving punters several opportunities of winning and punters generally like lotteries which are available on several days during the week.
The other reason why the UK49's is so popular is because the odds of hitting the jackpot are good at 1 in 14 million, this means that from time to time, a punter will hit the jackpot.
Russian Gosloto Lottery
The Russia Gosloto (not to be confused by the French Gosloto) is an extremely popular lottery in South Africa and several punters bet on the Russian Gosloto when they are betting on Lucky Numbers. The Russian Gosloto is not just one game but there is actually three variations of the lottery and these are based on the number of balls and range of the lottery numbers. The Gosloto draws available are Gosloto 5/36, Gosloto 6/45, and Gosloto 7/49 and the most popular among these three is the Gosloto 6/45, but generally all the draws are popular.
All the lottery draws from the Russian Gosloto have two daily drawings and that may be one of the reasons why Gosloto is popular because punters have several opportunities of winning.
The odds of winning for all the lotteries are quite favourable so punters feel like they stand a better chance of winning if they play this lottery and hence its popularity.
