How to Play UK49's Brunchtime
UK49’s Brunchtime draws consist of six numbers and a Booster ball being drawn from a pool of 49 different numbers. You are aiming to match the ones on your ticket to those that are drawn to win prizes. The game differs slightly to conventional lotteries in that you bet on a certain number of balls, not necessarily all six. There is also no set ticket cost as you wager an amount on the balls you have chosen being selected, rather than entering and winning a portion of the prize pool.
So, your first step is deciding how many balls you want to bet on. You can choose to just bet on one ball all the way up to all six, with the odds lengthening for every extra ball you add.
Next is you wager amount. This differs by bookmaker so the range from smallest to largest varies. The more you bet, the more you win – simple!
There are also extra markets you can bet on, such as odd vs even, the total sum of all balls added together, the value of the Booster ball and so on. This is one of the big advantages of it being a wager-based lottery, rather than ticket fee based.
Playing from South Africa
You can’t play UK49’s in a retail show in South Africa due to it being a UK game, however you can play online and this is arguably one of the most popular games in the entire country. Just follow the quick steps below:
- Choose your wager type – this can be the number of balls you choose, or alternative markets like total sum of the balls selected, odd vs even and so on. The bookmaker you choose will dictate the number of different markets available.
- Choose whether you are playing the six or seven number draw. The seven number draw includes the Booster Ball, meaning your odds are longer but winnings are bigger.
- Select the numbers to enter, from 1 – 49
- Get all the above done before the 11:49am cut-off if you want to enter the Brunchtime draw. Otherwise, you will be entered into the Lunchtime draw at 12:49pm.
- Decide how much you want to bet. The minimums and limits here will be dictated by your wager type and the bookmaker you choose.
- Register for an account if you don’t have one yet and pay for your bets

Prizes and Odds of Winning
There are no fixed prizes in a Brunchtime draw. The structure is based on the odds of the market you choose that get larger depending on how much risk you take in your wager type, and how much you wager. These will be displayed clearly when you choose your market.
For example, if you wager R10 on a 50/1 market and win, you will win R500. The total number of winners in the draw and the prize pool is irrelevant.
The other factor that dictates the odds is whether you enter the six or seven-number draw. The latter includes the Booster Ball, giving you an extra number that you can match with those that you bet. Adding in the Booster Ball does make your odds shorter and would therefore lower the amount you would win when compared to the six-number draw.

All odds are dictated by the bookmaker you choose. The above ones are used as an example as a collection of the most popular odds we have seen from a variety of bookmakers offering these markets.
