About Irish Lotto


Ireland started the operation of the Irish Lottery in 1987. Since then, the highest jackpot was recorded to be 16,185,749. It was won in July 2007. For every draw, there is no guaranteed winner. In this case, the jackpot prize is rolled over to the next draw. Thus in the Roll Over Draw, the jackpot prize is doubled compared to the previous draw with no winning ticket.

This Irish Lottery doesn’t require any player to be in Ireland in order to play the game. It is being played by different countries who want to take part in it. In fact, the support of the people towards the game and its causes were put into reality when it finally replaced the Irish Hospital Sweepstakes in the year 1988. The winning lump sum is of tax-free pay out, and given within 48 hours to the winners of the said game. Even if the jackpot isn’t won, you can still take home big cash prizes since this lottery has several different ways to win.
