3 Number Plus Bonus in UK49 Lunchtime

Trying your luck with numbers again, huh? Well, here in South Africa, we like playing lotteries too, and UK49 Lunchtime draw is one of the most popular. It’s easy to play online, which beats having to stand in those never-ending queues, right? On YesPlay you can find the “3 balls + bonus ball” bet that many people keep talking about. Even though it might sound complicated, you’ll get the hang of it pretty fast. It will give you an awesome chance to win big if your numbers align. Let’s take a closer look so you know what you’re doing when you try to win.

How it works?

Okay, first let's talk about the uk49 original draw itself. The numbers are drawn every lunchtime, SA time, in the UK. Six main balls are drawn, each of them between 1 and 49. After that they pull out one extra ball, called Booster or bonus ball. So, at the end we have seven numbers altogether: six main ones and one bonus ball.

Now, let's talk about the 3 number plus bonus ball bet on YesPlay and how exactly it works.

1. Pick three numbers that you think will show up in the six main balls.
2. Pick the one number that will be the bonus ball.

Let’s say you chose the following:

• Numbers 7, 8 and 9 for the main ball guesses.
• Number 10 for the bonus ball.

In order to win this bet, everything must be a 100% match, meaning:

• 7, 8 and 9 must be in the main balls that were drawn.
• Number 10 must be the bonus ball they draw.

If one of the numbers isn’t correct, or the bonus ball drawn isn’t number 10, then you lose the bet. As you can see, it isn’t easy to win, but the payouts are definitely worth it if luck is on your side.

If you’re curious about how to place this specific bet on YesPlay, just follow these steps:

1. Make sure you’re logged into your YesPlay account.
2. Go to Lucky Numbers and find UK49 Lunchtime.
3. Look for the section that says “Manual Selection”.
4. Under “Regular Balls” click the three numbers you’re planning to bet on. For example, 7, 8 and 9.
5. Go to “Bonus Balls” and click the number you think will be the bonus ball. For example, 10.
6. You’ll now be able to see your full bet (7, 8, 9 + 10). Now just click the “Add” button to add the bet to your bet slip.
7. On the bet slip, make sure that it says “3 balls + bonus ball”.
8. Enter the amount of money you want to bet. Let’s say R10.
9. YesPlay also has a pretty cool feature that lets you use the same bet for the next couple of draws by simply selecting the number of draws in the dropdown menu.
10. Now you just have to double check your potential payout, and if you’re happy with everything just hit “Place Bet”.

Once the draw is done, you’ll be able to check results online on the YesPlay website or on their app. They are usually quite fast when it comes to posting them.
