How do you win the Irish Lotto Online?
To win the Irish Lotto jackpot prize, you must match all 6 numbers drawn to the numbers on your ticket. The numbers can be in any order. You can win a prize by only matching 2 of the 6 winning numbers - plus the Bonus Ball that is drawn from the remaining 41 numbers - to receive a prize. The more numbers you match, the more the value of your prize will increase. There are 8 different prize categories for the Irish Lottery.
The Irish Lotto jackpot starts at €2 million and regularly climbs higher than €10 million. The prize fund is now capped at €19 million, where it can stay for a maximum of 5 draws. If the jackpot isn’t won on the 5th draw, the lottery becomes a ‘Will Be Won’ draw. This means that if there is no winner of the jackpot, the prize and excess rolls down and is allocated to the next prize tier where there is at least 1 winner.
