Similar to the jackpot races on e.g. Hollywoodbets or Supabets the Lottostar jackpot race has 3 phases: 1. Initial Phase The Jackpot cannot be triggered during this phase. Instead you see a count down until the next race starts. 2. Race Phase The Race Phase runs from 7 – 9pm every Thursday. During the 2h racing phase the jackpot is guaranteed to trigger. 3. Payout Phase Once the jackpot is triggered the Payout Phase starts and 500 winners will get their share of the R500,000 jackpot as per the paytable. The closer your bet was to the trigger time of the jackpot the more you will then win.
