How to play Irish Lotto

Picking your numbers

Pick 6 numbers from 1 to 47.

The Bonus Ball is drawn from the same balls after the main numbers. You don't choose it: it only counts in the prize tiers that name it.

Draws are held Wednesdays and Saturdays.

In short: Pick 6 numbers (1 to 47). Match all 6 for the jackpot. Rows marked "plus Bonus" also need the bonus ball.

Checking a ticket

Compare your numbers with the draw's numbers on the Irish Lotto results page, or let the Lottery Results app do it: scan the ticket with your camera, or save your numbers once and every draw is checked for you, with an alert when the results are in.

Always confirm a win with the operator or an official retailer before discarding a ticket. Lottery Results is independent and can't see your tickets or pay prizes.
