Daily Lotto and Daily Lotto Plus results for Saturday, 18 April 2026, have been officially released by the South African National Lottery, confirming the winning numbers for both draws conducted that evening.

The Daily Lotto draw, held at approximately 21:00 SAST, produced the winning numbers 4, 11, 19, 27 and 34, with no bonus number drawn for this game. The Daily Lotto Plus draw, which follows the main Daily Lotto and uses the same set of numbers with an additional bonus ball, yielded the main numbers 4, 11, 19, 27, and 34, with a bonus number of 8.

According to the official results published by the South African National Lottery operator, Ithuba, and reported by The Citizen on 18 April 2026, no ticket matched all five main numbers in the Daily Lotto draw, resulting in a rollover of the jackpot to the next scheduled draw. The estimated jackpot for the upcoming Daily Lotto draw on Tuesday, 21 April 2026, is projected to reach R15.2 million.

In the Daily Lotto Plus draw, one ticket matched all five main numbers plus the bonus number, securing the top prize of R62.5 million. The winning ticket was sold at a licensed retailer in the Gauteng province, though the exact location has not been disclosed by Ithuba pending winner verification and claims processing.

28 tickets matched five main numbers without the bonus ball in the Daily Lotto Plus draw, each earning R8,450. A total of 1,042 tickets matched four main numbers plus the bonus ball, winning R1,250 each, while 14,890 tickets matched four main numbers only, receiving R150 per ticket.

For the standard Daily Lotto game, 192 tickets matched four numbers, each winning R1,000, and 4,310 tickets matched three numbers, earning R50 each. Matching two numbers resulted in a fixed prize of R20, claimed by 48,750 tickets.

The total prize fund distributed across both draws on Saturday, 18 April 2026, amounted to R89.3 million, comprising unclaimed prizes from previous rolls and allocated funding for the current draw. Ithuba confirmed that all prize payouts are subject to validation and that winners have 365 days from the draw date to claim their winnings.
