The jackpot isn't as big as some games, which is obviously the trade-off. But most of us would be quite happy to take home that amount.

There is a minimum purchase of 2 panels for the Irish National Lottery, which costs €3. Additional panels are then €1.50 each.

The first Irish lottery draw was 16th April 1988, initially as a 6 from 36 game. It graduated to being a 6 from 39 game in 1992, then on to a 6 from 42 game in 1994, before finally reaching the current 6 from 45 game in November 2006.

One of the biggest Irish lottery jackpots stood for over 12 years. €9,505,290 was won on 2nd November 1996. But it wasn't until the switch to a 6 from 45 game that the jackpots started beating this record.

The largest ever Irish lottery jackpot went to a syndicate of 16 people on 28th June 2008. They shared a jackpot prize of €18,963,441.

Ireland provides a number of secondary lottery games including Lotto Plus, Telly Bingo, Monday Million and Lotto 54321. They also participate in the EuroMillions Lottery, and run an add-on game called EuroMillions Plus.
