Daily Million Lotto Explained
What?
Ireland's Daily Million draw replaced the Monday Million game in 2012 with exactly the same format now running twice every day – it is perfect for those who think they can have the luck of the Irish every day with a chance to win a fixed, non-rolling jackpot of a cool €1 million
How?
- 6 main balls plus a bonus ball are drawn from a selection of 1 – 39. E.g.: 1 6 16 28 32 39 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?
It is drawn twice every single day (including weekends and bank holidays). The first draw of the day is 14:00, the second is at 21:00 UK Time
