South Africans love big jackpots, but standing in line in America is just too much for most of us to get a Mega Millions ticket. YesPlay allows you to bet on the draw from the comfort of your own home using Rands. Here, you are not buying into the official pot, but instead backing outcomes on the USA Mega Millions 5/70 draw.
Singles Route
The easiest way to play this game is to pick one main ball and try to match it. On YesPlay’s USA Mega Millions page, you get paid out 12 times your initial stake if your number wins, meaning that if you put R20 on a number and it wins, you walk away with R240. If you don’t feel like winning big, you can always try side markets like odd or even balls, lowest and highest ball or divisible numbers. But if you want to win a life changing amount of money, then you should check out more on the YesPlay Lucky Numbers section.
Combo Shots
If you’re the type that likes to bet big and win big, then you’re going to love this next option. Here, you pick two, three, or even four numbers and bet that you’ll get them all right. Two balls at YesPlay can get you 190 times your initial bet, three balls jump into the thousands, and four balls can get you six figures. Remember though, if you get even one ball wrong, then your bet is gone. These bets are more for players who don’t mind waiting patiently for a rare big win with a much larger potential payout.
Which Lane Fits
If you prefer slow and steady winnings rather than occasional one-punch wins, then singles and side markets will suit you better. They’ll help you test your ideas and strategies and keep your stakes smaller. If you’re only putting aside money that you really don’t need, and you want one good story to tell your friends at the braai, multi-ball combos will be just what you’re looking for. But avoid mixing the two strategies if you have a small bankroll because you’ll spend it all much faster than you expected.
