When is the Irish Lotto drawn?
The Irish Lotto is drawn every Wednesday and Saturday at around 20:00 GMT. (The Plus 1 and Plus 2 draws are immediatedly after)
How does the draw work?
In the main draw, six numbers and an additional bonus ball are drawn from a pot of balls numbered from 1-47. The Plus 1 and Plus 2 draws have exactly the same format and take place right after the main draw.
What time must I have my bets placed by?
Although it varies with companies, typically you'll need to place your bets by 19:45. (Around 15 minutes before the draw)
How many balls do I have to bet on?
The choice is yours. You can bet on between 1 and 5 balls being drawn from the main 6 or 7 (if you want to include the bonus ball). This flexibility is one of the reason betting on the lotteries is so popular.
Do I have to match all the balls I select?
Yes. With lotto betting you select how many balls you want to bet on prior to the draw. You then must match all numbers to win. For example, picking 3 numbers is popular on the Irish Lotto - to win you must pick 3 numbers and match 3 numbers.
If I bet on a number being drawn and it is drawn as the bonus ball - do I win?
You can choose whether you want the bonus ball to be included or not. In our odds table above - choose With or Without the Bonus Ball to see the different odds. The odds/Payout is lower when you choose With the Bonus Ball as it is easier!
Why do different companies have different odds?
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.
Am I betting on the same Lotto with the different companies?
Yes. E.g.: If it says Irish Lotto, then you’re betting on the official Irish Lotto. The probability of you winning is of course exactly the same, regardless of who you bet with.
What is the minimum bet I can make?
This varies bookmaker to bookmaker, for example, Ladbrokes is £0.10 per line whereas William Hill is £0.01 per line. Read our bookmaker reviews to see by bookmaker.
What is the maximum bet payout on the Irish Lotto?
This varies with different companies. With Betfred it is listed as £500,000 however we know they have actually paid out more than this
