Frequently asked questions

Gosloto is a family of five Russian lottery games run by Столото (Stoloto), Russia's state lottery operator: 6/45, 7/49, 5/50, 4/20 and the rapid-fire 5/36. South Africans follow the draws because licensed local bookmakers take fixed-odds bets on the outcomes. This site publishes every result in South African time.

Six numbers are drawn from 1 to 45, and matching all six wins the jackpot, at odds of 1 in 8,145,060. There is no bonus ball. The game currently runs 11 draws a day between 10:00 and 22:59 SAST. Today's results are on the Gosloto 6/45 page, with every past draw in the 6/45 archive.

Seven numbers are drawn from 1 to 49, the hardest format in the family: jackpot odds are 1 in 85,900,584. It draws twice a day, at 09:30 and 18:00 SAST. Results and analytics live on the Gosloto 7/49 page.

Five numbers are drawn from 1 to 50, with jackpot odds of 1 in 2,118,760. It is the once-a-day game: the draw runs at 19:00 SAST, a slot Stoloto moved from 20:30 in early July 2026. Our 5/50 page tracks the schedule from the draw data itself, so it follows any future change.

Gosloto 4/20 uses two separate fields: you pick 4 numbers from 1 to 20 in Field 1 and another 4 from 1 to 20 in Field 2, so every line covers 8 numbers. Each field is drawn from its own set of balls, which is why the same number can appear in both. The odds of matching one full field of four are 1 in 4,845. It runs about 10 draws a day between 09:00 and 22:30 SAST; see the Gosloto 4/20 page.

Five numbers are drawn from 1 to 36 in rapid 15-minute slots around the clock, most days more than 50 draws. Matching all five carries odds of 1 in 376,992. Because the draws come so fast they are never archived: the live 5/36 page holds today's rolling list and refreshes itself.

It depends on how you play. Betting fixed-odds through a South African bookmaker, you choose the market: correctly calling even one ball can pay out, with prices rising for two, three or more. In the official Russian game each format has its own prize-tier table, and the fewer numbers you match, the smaller the prize. The where-to-play page explains the SA betting route.

All times on this site are South African Standard Time. The current schedule: 6/45 runs 11 draws a day from 10:00 to 22:59, 7/49 draws at 09:30 and 18:00, 5/50 draws once a day at 19:00, 4/20 runs about 10 draws between 09:00 and 22:30, and 5/36 draws every 15 minutes around the clock. Moscow is one hour ahead of South Africa all year; neither country shifts its clocks.

As of mid-2026: 11 for 6/45, 2 for 7/49, 1 for 5/50, about 10 for 4/20, and 50 or more rapid draws for 5/36. Stoloto adjusts schedules from time to time. Gosloto 6/45 ran 2 draws a day back in 2015 and 7 a day for years before the current 11, so we derive draw times from the results we record and the site follows any change automatically.

Most of them list Moscow time. Our pages show SAST, the time on your phone. Moscow is exactly one hour ahead of South Africa year-round, so if you see a Moscow listing, subtract one hour.

Yes, through the right channel. South African bookmakers licensed by provincial gambling boards offer fixed-odds betting on Gosloto outcomes. We recommend YesPlay, licensed by the Western Cape Gambling and Racing Board (licence 10180204-013). You must be 18 or older; please read our play-responsibly page before betting.

No. Stoloto does not sell tickets in South Africa, and this site sells nothing at all. The local route is a fixed-odds bet with a licensed bookmaker: you pick your numbers, the bookmaker sets the payout for each outcome, and the official Russian draw settles the bet.

Betting winnings are generally not subject to personal income tax in South Africa, but this depends on your circumstances. Check with SARS or a tax professional for your specific situation.

We are an independent South African results tracker, not Stoloto. Every result is taken from published Gosloto draw feeds and cross-checked before publication. If you spot an error, email [email protected] with the draw date and we will correct it, usually within a business day.

The site refreshes every 15 minutes, so a result normally appears within minutes of being published. If a recent draw seems missing, tell us and we will catch it up.

Gosloto 6/45 is archived back to 2015, more than 15,000 draws. Across 6/45, 7/49, 5/50 and 4/20 the archive holds over 42,000 results, each with its own page. 5/36 works differently: rapid draws are never archived, and the live page holds today's list.

An independent South African team. The site is free to use and ad-supported, has no formal relationship with Stoloto, and processes no payments.

There is no method that changes the odds: every 5/36 combination faces the same 1 in 376,992 chance, every draw. What you can control is how much you stake, how many draws you chase, and whether you split costs with other players. Hot and cold tables describe the past; they do not predict the next draw. Our statistics page walks through the honest math.

Treat it as entertainment with a budget, not an income plan. Decide your stake before you look at the numbers, prefer the games whose odds you understand, and never chase losses. No pattern, system or lucky ritual shifts the draw odds. Set limits and stick to them; our play-responsibly page lists free SA support resources.

No. Nothing improves the underlying odds of any lottery draw. Our predictions service is a starting point shaped by the long-run distribution of past draws, and its track record is published openly, wins and losses alike. It is free with membership.

Every game page (6/45, 7/49, 5/50, 4/20) carries hot, cold, overdue and pair-frequency tables built from our full archive. Remember they describe history, not the future.

Randomly, shaped by the long-run distribution of historical draws (sum total, odd/even balance, decade spread). Each combination still has the same odds as any other. Try it on the number generator page.

No. All results and archive pages are public. A free account adds the predictions service and saved preferences. Signup takes an email and a password on the signup page; there is no paid tier and no card is ever collected.
