What a winning bet pays
Get your numbers up at Drivetime — here is what comes back
You do not have to match all six. You choose how many numbers to back, and the more you take on, the bigger the return and the longer the odds. Pick your stake to see the Drivetime ladder in rand.
| You pick | Chance of hitting | Comes back |
|---|---|---|
| 1 number | 1 in 8.2 | R70 |
| 2 numbers | 1 in 78.4 | R540 |
| 3 numbers | 1 in 921 | R6,010 |
| 4 numbers | 1 in 14,125 | R72,000 |
| 5 numbers | 1 in 317,814 | R1,250,000 |
Six balls are drawn. The Booster is not counted, so your numbers have to come out of those six.
Your real price is on the bet slip. YesPlay prices every UK49s draw in rand and shows exactly what your line pays before you confirm it.
Open a free YesPlay accountWhere these come from: the 49’s operator publishes this ladder itself, in its What You Can Win table, checked at the source on 3 August 2026. Every figure is a multiple of what you put on, which is why it holds in rand, and it already includes your stake back. YesPlay sets its own price on each bet and caps the most it will pay on a single ticket, so treat the biggest lines here as the guide rather than a quote. 18+. Play responsibly.

Law of large numbers
Frequency converging to chance
Every ball has a theoretical 12.24% chance of appearing in the six mains of any draw (6 of 49). Across 209 Drivetime draws on record the swings still look wild up close, but the longer the archive runs the closer every ball settles to that line. That is why hot and cold streaks do not predict.
12 appearances in the last 56 vs theoretical 12.24%
11 appearances in the last 56 vs theoretical 12.24%
2 appearances in the last 56 vs theoretical 12.24%
3 appearances in the last 56 vs theoretical 12.24%
The two on the left are the most drawn balls in the window, the two on the right the least drawn. The gold marker on each bar is the 12.24% chance line.

About this draw
The Drivetime draw
Drivetime — plenty of searchers write it Drive Time, and it is the same draw — is the early-evening leg of UK49s. The operator added it in January 2026, alongside Brunchtime, and it closed the long gap that used to sit between Lunchtime and Teatime: it runs at 17:49 SAST (16:49 UK time), every day, produced by SIS and broadcast live from a UK studio in the same six-balls-plus-Booster format as the rest of the family.
For South Africans the slot is the point: it lands after work and before supper, and it means the wait between the midday and evening draws is now hours shorter. Betting works exactly as it does on the older draws — one to five numbers with a licensed local bookmaker, in rand, at fixed odds, Booster in or out — and the ladder above is the operator’s own guide, the same for all four draws.
The record here is young by design: our Drive Time archive runs from 27 January 2026, 209 draws so far, each checked against the official result. Every stat on this page is computed from Drivetime draws alone, and when the UK leaves summer time the draw moves to 18:49 SAST, with every time on this site updated to match.
