The Bonus Ball is the seventh and last ball drawn in the lotto game draw. If your ticket numbers match the first six balls drawn, then you win the jackpot. The Bonus Ball is the seventh drawn ball, which provides you with the possibility of boosting your winnings if you have only missed one of the six main numbers.
