The Nifty Fifty is the hottest new numbers game on the circuit right now. Exclusive to Betfred, the first Nifty Fifty numbers were drawn in May 2020. It has enjoyed a very successful start, and regular lotto bettors continue to flock back to the exciting new product. In turn, Nifty Fifty has already paid out some significant sums. For example, one customer won a whopping £10,000 within just weeks of its launch. There are draws every day, and you can watch them live online, on your mobile device, or in-shop.
But how does it compare to the 49's Lotto draw? Arguably one of the most famous draws in existence, the 49's Lotto is not attached to any particular nation. It made the headlines in 2019 when a syndicate with six participants won a stunning £1.1million between them at Betfred.
Read on for our comparison of the two!
How Many Draws Are There Per Day?
The Nifty Fifty draw comes out on top here - there are three draws every day (11:30, 14:30, and 18:30), compared to two from the 49's Lotto (12:49 and 16:49 or 17:49, depending on the season). The Nifty Fifty results and the 49’s Lotto results are available instantly.
How About The Odds?
The Nifty Fifty odds come out on top against the 49's odds too - they are superior across the board, although this is partly due to having one ball more than the 49's.

How To Bet?
Nifty Fifty: You can bet on numbers and groups. When you bet on the numbers, you must select between one and five digits, and if all of them roll out, you get the win. Your odds increase exponentially with the more balls you pick. When you bet on the groups – you are betting on the outcome of the first ball. For example, if you think it will be even, and the number 10 comes in, your bet will be a winner. That's not all - you can try combination betting to mix it up, including Lucky 15s and Patents. Just click the drop-down menu in the bet section to find these options.
49's: The 49's lotto draw is almost identical. Your job is to pick your favourite numbers - five of them to be precise! Betfred will save your favourite numbers for you, or you can use the Lucky Dip function for a hyper-quick selection. (All these features are also available for The Nifty Fifty Draw). Get paid out according to the odds listed in the table above.
To Conclude
There’s something to be said for both draws – but the Nifty Fifty is undoubtedly a refreshing shake-up to the lotto betting sphere!
