Irish Lotto - How to Play

In order to play Irish Lotto you must pick six numbers from a choice of 47. Prizes are awarded for matching anything from two main numbers and the Bonus Ball upwards, with the jackpot being won by anyone who matches all six main numbers. Players who match three, four or five balls can increase the value of any prize they might win if they also match the Bonus Ball, which is drawn after the first six numbers.

Odds

The odds of winning any Irish Lotto prize are 1 in 29. The base jackpot stands at €2 million, although it often rises far above that amount due to regular rollovers.
