Irish Lotto

Irish Lotto creates thousands of winners across Ireland every Wednesday and Saturday night. There are eight different prize categories, including a jackpot that starts at €2 million and is often worth much more. Find out more about how the game works and how to win prizes.

The latest Irish lottery results are displayed below straight after every draw. See the winning numbers for Irish Lotto, Plus 1, Plus 2 and the Lotto Plus Raffle.

How to Play

In Irish Lotto, you are required to select six numbers from 1 to 47. You can choose your own numbers or go for a Quick Pick if you would prefer to get a random selection via a lucky dip.

You can play in advance for two, four or eight draws, and just need to get your entries in before 7:45pm on a Wednesday or 7:55pm on a Wednesday to be eligible for that night’s draw.

Each line costs €2, and the minimum play is two lines. You can also select the ‘Plus’ option for an extra €1 per line, if you also want to play Plus 1, Plus 2 and the Raffle.

Prizes

You win prizes by matching your chosen numbers to those that are drawn as the winning Irish Lotto numbers. As well as the six main numbers, a Bonus Ball is also drawn from the 41 balls that are remaining.

Prizes start from matching as few as two main numbers plus the Bonus Ball. To win the jackpot, you must match all six main numbers. The top prize is guaranteed to be worth at least €2 million, and it can go far higher.

The majority of prizes are pari-mutuel, so the value will vary from draw to draw depending on the number of winners. The prize for matching three numbers, for example, might be between €7 and €12.

Lotto Plus

If you add the Plus option, it gives you three extra chances to win. Your numbers from the main draw will be entered into the Lotto Plus 1 and Lotto Plus 2 draws which take place on the same night. You will also be given a code for the Lotto Plus Raffle.

The Lotto Plus draws are held separately to each other and the main draw, so it is entirely possible for the same number to be selected in all the draws. You can also win prizes in different draws on the same night.

Lotto Plus 1 offers a jackpot of €1 million. The following table shows all the prizes you can win in Lotto Plus 1.
