PREDICT THE BONUS BALL
Predicting the correct bonus ball will win you 47 times the amount you played! E.g. Playing R10 will win you R470 PLUS the R10 you played.
Total amount won = R480
BONUS BALL 1-9
Predicting the bonus ball as a single number between 1-9 will win you four times the amount you played! E.g. Playing R10 will win you R40 PLUS the R10 you played. Total amount won = R50
BONUS BALL HI (26 – 49) or LOW (1- 24)
Correctly predicting the Bonus Ball as either a HI ball or a LOW ball, will double your money! E.g. Playing R10 will win you R10 PLUS the R10 you played. Total amount won = R20. Number 25 is the bookmaker’s ball and all bets on high-low will be losers if number 25 is the bonus ball.
Your payout is based on how much you bet (your stake)
1 number = 5 x stake
2 numbers = 52 x stake
3 numbers = 400 x stake
4 numbers = 3000 x stake
So if you bet R10 on 2 numbers. Your payout is:
52 x R10 = R520.
