For the most part, lottery draws around the world happen once or twice a week. There are examples of lotteries happening three times in a seven-days period, too. But seldom will you find draws that happen on a daily basis.
The Keno 24/7, EuroJackpot GO! and EuroMillionsGO! are superb examples of lotteries that don’t require you to wait for days on end for the next draw. They happen far more regularly.
The EuroMillionsGO! happens every hour, on the hour. Do the math of 24 x seven and you will soon work out that it’s effectively 168 draws per week. The draw closes five minutes before each hourly draw. To enter, simply choose five numbers from 1 to 50 – as well as two lucky star numbers from 1 to 12. The odds of any win are approximately 1 to 2.1 and – get this – your money is returned if you don’t guess any numbers correctly.
Tier two prizes for matching five numbers and one lucky star number start at around 300,000 euros, so again do the math and uncover the millions of South African rands that amounts to. Life-changing numbers, indeed.
The EuroJackpotGO! operates on similar lines to the EuroMillionsGO! Again, it’s every hour and a popular option among daily bets fans. This virtual draw is also more frequent than most. It also offers cash back if no correct numbers are drawn. The format is simple again – select five numbers from 1 to 50 – and additional two from 1 to 12.
A tier one prize in the EuroJackpotGO!, for which you need to get all five numbers and the two additional digits correct, could land the fat sum of upwards of R400 million. That’s a whopping amount in South African ZARS, indeed.
If you thought daily draws on the hour, every hour, epitomised frequency to the nth degree, then get a load of the Keno 24/7. The frequency is effectively in its name. This happens 24 hours a day, seven days a week – and as promptly as ever four minutes. With more than 10,000 minutes in a week, the Keno 24/7 is drawn over 2,500 times in seven days. Multiply that by the 52 weeks in the year and, yes, you tally up a substantial number of draws and the world of opportunity.
Sometimes referred to as the New York Keno, this draw has its origins in the United States of America. There is effectively a R10 million payout up for grabs every four minutes. Choose between 1 and 10 numbers for each bet and, the more digits you select, the higher your potential profit.
Familiarise yourself with the ins and outs of the Keno 24/7 and keep an eye out for trends or themes. This will help you be more confident with a draw that happens far more frequently than others.
So, there you have it. Three draws that happen relatively regularly – and far more often than several others around the world which occur once or twice a week.
