About the Irish Lotto

What?

The Irish Lotto or National Lottery in Ireland launched in 1987 and is the country’s state Lotto. It is hugely popular with a whopping two thirds of adults in Ireland claiming to regularly play Lotto games and millions from all over the world betting on it.

How?

  • 6 main balls plus a bonus ball are drawn from a selection of 1 – 47. E.g.: 1 6 16 28 32 45 Bonus 22
  • Betting without the bonus ball (best payout) – you can bet on up to 5 balls appearing from any of the main 6 drawn
  • Betting with the bonus ball (slightly lower payout because it’s easier!) – you can bet on up to 5 balls appearing from any of the main 6 drawn or the bonus ball

When?

The Irish Lotto is drawn twice weekly on Wednesday and Saturday evenings at 19:45pm (GMT). (Normally you need to have your bets placed between 15-30 minutes before the draw takes place)

Every Wednesday and Saturday evening, three draws take place including the main Lotto draw and Lotto plus 1 and Lotto plus 2

The short and sweet answer is there is no tax at all to pay on either gambling winnings or stakes in the UK (if you are not based in the UK please check your local jurisdiction).
The larger or smaller odds offered simply represent the profit/margin that the different companies want to make.
So Company A offering 110,000/1 on 5 balls has a higher theoretical profit margin compared to Company B offering 150,000/1 i.e. Company B are potentially giving more of the money staked by all their customers, back to the customers in winnings. Company A hope to retain more in profits.
