The UK49s Lunchtime draw takes place daily, and the results are posted here just after the draw. The seven numbers above are the official winning numbers: the first six are the main numbers in ascending order, and the last number (separated by x as “Booster”) is the bonus ball for that draw.
What is the UK49s Lunchtime Lottery?
UK49s Lunchtime is a daily lottery-style draw held in the United Kingdom, famous among lottery enthusiasts in the UK and South Africa. As the name suggests, it occurs around lunchtime in the UK, typically just before 1:00 PM.
In each draw, six main numbers are drawn from a pool of 1 through 49, and then a seventh number, called the Booster Ball (or bonus ball), is drawn from the remaining numbers. The result is therefore a set of 7 winning numbers for every Lunchtime draw.
This game is operated by 49’s Ltd, an independent company, and has been running since 1996. It’s not part of the state-run National Lottery; instead, it’s often played via bookmakers and online betting sites. The Lunchtime draw has become very popular in South Africa and other countries because it offers twice-daily chances to win and a lot of flexibility for players.
Many South African players refer to it casually as “UK lunchtime lotto” or “lunchtime lotto 49’s,” even though it’s technically a fixed-odds betting game rather than a traditional lottery.
When and What Time is the Lunchtime Draw?
The UK49s Lunchtime draw is held daily, seven days a week – yes, that includes weekends and public holidays. It’s very consistent, so you have a chance every single day.
Draw Time: The drawing occurs at 12:49 PM (noon) GMT/BST in the UK. For South African players, this translates to roughly 1:49 PM or 2:49 PM local time, depending on the time of year:
- During British Winter (roughly late Oct to late March, when the UK is on GMT and South Africa is 2 hours ahead), the Lunchtime draw happens at 14:49 (2:49 PM) South Africa Standard Time.
- During British Summer (daylight savings, usually late March to late Oct, the UK is on BST, which is GMT+1 and thus only 1 hour behind SA), the draw is at 13:49 (1:49 PM) South African time.
So, in summary, the Lunchtime results are typically out by about 2:50 PM South African time on any given day (or 1:50 PM in winter months). We post the results here shortly after. If you’re in the UK, it’s always at 12:49 PM local time.
New Additional Draws: Recently, two extra draws have been introduced exclusively via a partnership with Betway in South Africa. These additional draws occur at 12:49 PM SAST and 5:49 PM SAST (South Africa time), which correspond to 11:49 AM and 4:49 PM UK time, respectively.
How to Play UK49s Lunchtime (South Africa Edition)
Playing UK49s Lunchtime is easy and quite different from typical lotto games. Here’s a quick example guide for newcomers and especially South African players:
Example:
- Let’s say you choose a 7-number draw, bet R10, and pick the single number 45.
- If 45 is drawn as one of the six main numbers or as the Booster in the Lunchtime draw, you win according to the odds for a Pick 1 (7-number) bet.
- If 45 doesn’t appear at all, you lose that bet.
- If you instead picked three numbers (e.g., 7, 19, 45), you’d need all three of those to show up in the draw results to win; even two correct out of three would not yield a prize.
UK49s Lunchtime Odds and Payouts
One of the most common questions is “How much can I win?”
UK49s doesn’t have a fixed prize for matching X numbers; instead, it uses fixed odds betting. Your winnings depend on how many numbers you try to match, whether you include the Booster, and how much you bet.
Here’s an overview of the typical odds for the Lunchtime game:
| Bet Type | Odds if 6-number draw (no Booster) | Odds if 7-number draw (with Booster) |
|---|---|---|
| Pick 1 (1 number) | 6/1 (6-to-1) – e.g. bet R10, win R60 | 5/1 (5-to-1) – e.g. bet R10, win R50 |
| Pick 2 (2 numbers) | ~60/1 (approx 60-to-1) | ~40/1 (40-to-1) |
| Pick 3 (3 numbers) | ~650/1 (650-to-1) | ~400/1 (400-to-1) |
| Pick 4 (4 numbers) | ~10,000/1 (10k-to-1) | ~5,000/1 (5k-to-1) |
| Pick 5 (5 numbers) | ~150,000/1 (150k-to-1) | ~50,000/1 (50k-to-1) |
Let’s put that into a practical example for clarity:
- If you bet R10 on 2 numbers (Pick 2) in the standard 6-number Lunchtime draw at 66/1 odds and you get both numbers correct, you’d win R660 (plus your R10 stake back, totaling R670).
- If you placed the same R10 on 2 numbers but opted for the 7-number draw (including Booster), at say 45/1 odds, a win would pay R450 (plus stake back = R460).
No Partial Prizes: Remember, you must match all the numbers in your bet to win anything. If you played a Pick 5 (very ambitious!) and got 4 out of 5, unfortunately, that’s still a loss.
Tips, Strategies, and Things to Know
Playing the UK49s Lunchtime game is straightforward, but here are a few tips and points of interest to enhance your experience:
Lunchtime Hot and Cold Numbers
Many 49s enthusiasts track “hot numbers” (numbers that have been drawn frequently in recent history) and “cold numbers” (those that haven’t come up in a long time). For example, you might find that numbers 47 and 17 have been “hot” lately, whereas 8 and 14 are “cold”. Such statistics can be interesting; some players use them to inform their number choices.
Number Generators and Predictions
If you’re stuck on what numbers to choose, you can use a random number generator (our site has one here in predictions) to get a quick Lucky Dip selection. These predictions are not guaranteed – think of them as educated guesses.
