TheLotter.com has a number of special offers to entice new and existing players. The more you deposit and play at the Lotter, the more worthwhile your discounts. These are usually in the form of free subscriptions, discounts and VIP points as highlighted below:

Signing up with theLotter.com will only take you a couple of minutes at most. Just follow the quick and easy steps listed below to get started:

• On the Lotter homepage click the blue ‘Sign Up’ button on the top of your screen.
• On the ‘Open Your FREE Account’ pop-up fill in your email address, choose a safe and secure password and enter your country before clicking the ‘Sign Up’ button.
• On the next pop-up enter your name, DOB, street address, city, phone number and accept theLotter’s terms of use and privacy policy before clicking ‘Next.’

All tickets available at the Lotter start from $3, and there are three ways you can buy tickets online – Standard, Syndicate and Bundle, each of which is explained below:

Standard

You can buy standard lottery tickets at the Lotter with either 3 lines, 5 lines, 7 lines, 10 lines, 15 lines, 20 lines or 25 lines or sets of numbers. (It’s not possible to buy just one or two lines). You can either choose your own lucky numbers or click the QuickPick button for the site’s high tech random number generator software to pick them on your behalf.

The Lotter also has a ‘systematic’ form that allows you to pick more numbers than usual for a standard lottery ticket. The idea behind this is that you can buy tickets for a lottery draw that contain every combination of your chosen numbers to help you improve your chances of winning big cash amounts.

Syndicate

You can buy lottery tickets at theLotter.com as part of a syndicate i.e. as part of a group of players who buy lottery tickets together. As part of a syndicate you and every other player own a set percentage of the combined tickets and will receive a proportionate part of any and all winnings derived therefrom.

By buying online lottery tickets as part of a syndicate you can enjoy far greater odds of winning (and sharing) a jackpot for less money than if you had to purchase the same quantity of lotto tickets on your own. In other words, you can play hundreds of number combinations without buying them individually.

There are 4 types of syndicate tickets you can buy at the lotter:

• Random Selection
• Systematic
• Guaranteed Number Match
• Additional Numbers Match Guaranteed

Bundles

Bundles are ticket packages available from the Lotter that combine standard (personal entry) tickets and Syndicate tickets. These are a good option if you want the best of both worlds since you can secure tickets with your own hand-picked (or QuickPick) numbers as well as shared syndicate tickets where your potential to win is greatly boosted.

A big benefit of bundled tickets at theLotter.com is that they can save you both money and time because you’re getting what is essentially a package deal. Plus, any prizes you win with personal entry ticket are 100% yours to keep while any winnings derived from a syndicate ticket will be paid out to you as per your respective syndicate share.

As the Lotter has grown in size and reputation over the years, it has continued to add and remove lotteries to and from its portfolio. Today it sells tickets for approximately 50 lotteries in Europe, Eastern Europe, North America, South America, Australia, Far East, New Zealand and Africa. Here’s a list of available lotteries by their country of origin:

In terms of the lotteries we personally recommend to South African players, each of the lotto draws listed below are highly worthwhile because their jackpots consistently reach epic heights and they have tens of millions of fans boosting the jackpots by the millions with each and every rollover:

TheLotter.com is 100% desktop and mobile-friendly so you can sign up, deposit, buy tickets and cash out on any desktop PC, laptop, smart phone or device connected to the internet. The layout of the Lotter is specially geared up to suit multiple platforms and devices so you can login, pay, play and cash out as fast and painlessly as possible.

If theLotter’s responsive site is not enough for you, however, you can also download an app depending on your platform. For instance, if you have an Apple iPhone or iPad, you can download theLotter App for either from the Apple App Store. Or, if you have an Android device you can download the theLotter App from the Google Play Store.

But regardless of what platform or device you have, all you need is a reliable and fast internet connection, an account with theLotter, the method and means to fund your account and you’re on your way. The great thing about being mobile-friendly is that on the Lotter you can buy countless tickets for multiple lotteries anytime, anywhere 24/7.

Compatible mobile platforms:

Whether you own a Windows, Android or iOS (Apple) smart phone or tablet in South Africa, or are on the MTN, Vodacom, Telkom, Virgin Mobile or Cell C network, rest assured that you can access and make use of theLotter.com and all of its services.

TheLotter.com on iOS

Although theLotter.com accepts 31 different deposit methods, many are limited to players in specific countries. Lotto lovers in South Africa, for instance, can make use of the reputable, trustworthy and reliable deposit and withdrawal options listed below:

As you might expect from a large and leading global online operation like theLotter, it has a big choice of customer support facilities available 24/7 in 13 languages including:

• Live Chat
• Toll Free Phone (for South Africa) – 0800 981 870
• Fax: +44 20 7691 7234
• Email form
• Comprehensive FAQs

TheLotter is a quick, convenient and easy to use website that lets you buy tickets for many of the world’s biggest lotteries in a matter of minutes. The cost of this ease and convenience does come at a cost, however, as the site adds a markup to every ticket it sells. On the upside, the site doesn’t charge or take any other fees or commissions.

So, short of flying to another country especially to buy a lotto ticket or two at a cheaper face value, the Lotter is a great online option and one we recommend with conviction.
