Between 29 May and 5 July 2026, every R50+ bet you place on horse racing through the Lucky Fish App or Gallop TV QR code automatically enters you into draws for a share of R100,000, including three life-changing 10% ownership stakes in real racehorses plus dozens of betting vouchers. It’s one of the most exciting horse racing promos South Africa has seen in years.

This is Real Horse Ownership

If you’ve ever watched a horse thunder down the home straight and thought, “I wish I had a piece of that,” Lucky Fish just made it possible for ordinary punters. Their Get In On The Races competition isn’t another generic free bet promo, but it gives three lucky winners an actual 10% share in a racehorse, complete with a full support package and Race Coast Turf Club membership for a year.

Here’s exactly how it works, who’s already in with a chance, and why you should get involved before the final draw on 6 July.

The Draw Schedule & What’s Up for Grabs

There are five draws, and every qualifying bet counts as an entry. Here’s the full breakdown:

Draw Date	Prizes	Total Winners
5 June 2026	1× 10% Horse Ownership, Membership and also10× R1,000 vouchers	11
12 June 2026	18× R500 betting vouchers	18
19 June 2026	1× 10% Horse Ownership, Membership and also10× R1,000 vouchers	11
26 June 2026	17× R500 betting vouchers	17
6 July 2026	1× 10% Horse Ownership, Membership and also10× R1,000 vouchers	11

Grand total: 3 horse ownership packages + 30 × R1,000 vouchers + 35 × R500 vouchers = 68 winners.

Winners are chosen randomly and supervised by an internal auditor. You can win a maximum of one horse share and one voucher during the whole competition.

How to Enter

Make sure you have (or open) a Lucky Fish account — it must be FICA-verified to claim any prize.
Place a R50 or bigger bet on any horse racing meeting.
Do it either inside the Lucky Fish App or by scanning the special QR code on Gallop TV

That’s it. Every qualifying bet during the campaign period puts you in the draw. The more you bet, the more entries you rack up.

The Important Bits

Horse share winners get a call within 48 hours and must accept within 3 working days, or the prize is redrawn.
Betting vouchers are credited to your account and must be staked at a minimum 0.5 decimal odds (5/10) before any withdrawal.
All winners are notified by phone, SMS, or push notification.
Self-excluded players cannot enter.
The usual responsible gambling rules apply. This is entertainment, not a retirement plan.

Why We Love This One

Horse racing in this country has a serious heritage, from the Durban July to the big Cape Town features. Most of us enjoy it from the stands or on our phones. This competition lets a few regular bettors step behind the scenes and feel what it’s like to be an owner, even if just for a season.

And because the support package is so comprehensive, like training, vet, entries, the lot, you’re not suddenly landed with unexpected bills. It’s proper ownership without the usual headaches.

The first draw is just around the corner on 5 June, but there are still four more after that — including the final one on 6 July. Every bet you place between now and then is another ticket in the drum.
