IRISH LOTTERY
HOW IT WORKS
The Irish National Lottery pays in excess of 50% of its funds in prize money. The balance is used to fund projects in Ireland in the areas of health, sport, recreation, arts, culture and national heritage, including the Irish language.
The jackpot is never lower than E2,000,000.00 and is frequently worth in excess of E5,000,000.00. It can rise to E10,000,000 and more! The draw takes place every Wednesday and Saturday night on national television (RTE).
The jackpot prize is won by matching the first six numbers drawn (1 to 45).
A seventh number is also drawn and is called the 'bonus' number.
Although people tend to pick their own lucky numbers, a 'quick pick' option is available which instructs the Lotto computer to select the entry numbers.
Prizes are tax-free and are paid out in one lump sum.
