How to play Irish Lotto

If you fancy the luck of the Irish, then this super simple lotto format is the one for you. All you need to do is match six winning numbers from a potential 1 – 47. A bonus ball is selected from the same drum, but this is used to determine the second, fourth, sixth, and eighth tier prizes and does not affect the main jackpot.

There is a randomly generated Quick Pick option if you’re in a rush. And if life is always busy, then it’s handy to be able to play the same set of numbers in two further draws – the Lotto Plus 1 and the Lotto Plus 2. Lotto Plus draws also mean automatic entry into the Lotto Plus Raffle Draw. Such generosity!
