Mauritius Loto Jackpot Rolls Over to Rs 20 Million After No Winner

Mauritius lottery players will get another shot at a major prize after no one claimed the top prize in either the Loto or Loto Plus draws held on Wednesday 11 November, according to an official statement from Lottotech, the company that operates the national lottery in Mauritius.

With no grand winner from Wednesday's draw, the Loto jackpot has rolled over and is now estimated at around 20 million Mauritian rupees for the next draw. The Loto Plus jackpot, a separate game with its own prize pool, stands at 8 million rupees.

Lottotech is the licensed operator of Mauritius's national lottery games, running draws including Loto, Loto Plus and other formats on a regular weekly schedule. Players purchase tickets at authorised retail outlets across the island and can also play through official digital channels.

A rollover happens automatically when no ticket matches all the numbers drawn in a given round. The unclaimed prize amount is added to the base jackpot for the following draw, making the next game more attractive to players. Consecutive rollovers can push jackpots to significantly higher sums, drawing in more participants.

For context, 20 million Mauritian rupees is roughly equivalent to around 420,000 euros or 450,000 US dollars at current exchange rates, representing a life-changing sum for most residents of the island.

Lottotech has not indicated on what date the next draw will take place, but draws typically follow the regular weekly schedule. Players are advised to check official Lottotech communications or authorised retail points for confirmed draw dates and ticket purchase deadlines.
