4 Simple Steps

From picking numbers to collecting winnings

1

Pick 1 to 5 Numbers

Choose anywhere from 1 to 5 numbers out of 90. You can pick your own lucky numbers or use our Quick Pick feature to generate random numbers instantly.

Many players use birthdays, anniversaries, or jersey numbers as their picks!

2

Choose a Draw Time

We run 5 draws every single day. Pick the draw time that suits you best — morning, afternoon, or evening. You can play in multiple draws!

Draw times: 10:00 AM, 1:00 PM, 4:00 PM, 8:00 PM, and 10:00 PM

3

Set Your Stake

Decide how much you want to wager. The minimum stake is just ₦5, so anyone can play. Higher stakes mean bigger potential winnings!

Start small with ₦50–₦100 while you learn the ropes.

4

Win Prizes!

If your numbers match the drawn numbers, you win! Prizes depend on how many numbers you match and your stake amount. Winnings go straight to your wallet.

Match all 5 for the jackpot! Even picking just 1 number and matching it wins a prize.

The more numbers you match, the bigger the prize
