The live broadcast of the SA Lotto draw results and game show are coming back to SABC's three television channels and 13 radio stations after a six-year absence. South African National lottery live broadcasting was being done by e-tv. They will this Saturday (28 March) broadcast the last lotto draw of the South African national lotto.

In March 2003, the National lottery draw and television game show moved from SABC 2 to the free-to-air channel E-tv and remained with the channel when Gidani revived the lottery operations in 2007.

The live broadcast of South African national lotto and lotto plus on SABC 2 will start on April 1. Gidani CEO, Bongani Khumalo, says: "It has always been our objective to have a broader audience. It also means that more people will understand what happens to the money that comes as proceeds from playing the National lottery."
