About Irish Lotto
Irish Lotto is the National Lottery’s flagship drawing game that started in March 1988. The very first Lotto draw was held on Saturday, 16 April 1988 with the original format of 6/36 and a guaranteed jackpot prize of €250,000. Drawings continued every Saturday until 30 May 1990, when midweek Lotto draw on Wednesday nights was introduced.
Today, Irish Lotto draw happens two times a week every Wednesday and Saturday evening. It is currently a 6/47 lottery with an additional “bonus ball”. The starting jackpot is a guaranteed €2 million that rolls over to the next draw until it is won.
During the draw, a Bonus ball is drawn for each game that increases the odds of winning a prize except the Jackpot prize. Match all 6 main numbers to win the jackpot prize.
