Irish National Lottery
The Irish National Lottery main draw is a 6 from 42 game. That is, you choose 6 numbers on your playslip, from the numbers 1 to 42. Match 6 numbers and you win the jackpot of a guaranteed minimum prize of 1,350,000 Euros.
As far as lottery odds go, that's a pretty decent 1 in 5,245,786 chance of winning the Irish lottery jackpot. That 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 lines for the Irish National Lottery, which costs 2 Euros. Additional lines are then 1 Euro each.
The first Irish lottery draw was 16 April 1988, initially as a 6 from 36 game. Eventually moving to the current 6 from 42 game on 24 September 1994. The largest ever Irish lottery jackpot to date was for 9,505,290 Euros, which was won on 2 November 1996.
Ireland provides a number of secondary lottery games including Lotto Plus, Telly Bingo and Lotto 54321. They also participate in the EuroMillions Lottery.

This is a great game for a lottery syndicate, so it comes as quite a surprise to find none seem to currently be available. If you run one, do tell us, because people are waiting to join!
