Which Lucky Numbers bets are not valid for the weekly jackpot on Lucky Fish?

Short Answer: Bets that are not valid for the weekly jackpot on Lucky Fish include void or cancelled bets, and bets on draws where all numbers are cancelled or abandoned. Only valid, settled bets on qualifying Lucky Numbers draws count as entries.

Placing a bet on an unlisted lottery draw will also disqualify your entry from the jackpot.

1. Void and Cancelled Bets

The terms explicitly state that void or cancelled bets do not qualify for entry. If a bet is voided for any reason, it will not count towards the jackpot. Additionally, if all numbers in a draw are cancelled or abandoned, the bet will not count as a valid entry. This ensures that only active, settled wagers contribute to the progressive pool and the winner selection.

2. Unlisted Draws and Minimum Stake

You must place a single bet on one of the eligible Lucky Numbers draws listed in the terms. Bets on any draws not on that extensive list will not qualify. Furthermore, each qualifying bet must be at least R2. Any bet below the R2 minimum stake will not be counted as an entry into the Progressive Jackpot. The jackpot closes every Thursday at 21:00, and only bets placed before this time can win.
