Entry into Game

Give your completed playslip with the appropriate monies to the National Lottery Lotto Agent and in return you will receive your ticket for the draw(s). The numbers will be printed on your ticket reading across on one line for each panel played. You are now in the game! If you have played Lotto Plus on your ticket (50c extra per panel), your numbers will be entered into the two Lotto Plus draws and “LOTTO

PLUS YES” will be printed under the logo.

Before leaving the National Lottery Lotto Agent’s premises check the numbers on your ticket to ensure they are the ones you have chosen. Your ticket is the only valid receipt for claiming a prize and will show the date(s) of the draw(s) for which your ticket is valid. You can play the same set of numbers every draw if you wish by simply using the same playslip which the Agent will return to you each

time you play. A game ticket is valid for one Lotto draw (and the two Lotto Plus draws for that date where applicable) except in the case of Advance Play, whether or not the Jackpot for that particular draw is won or carried over. Tickets bought up to approximately 10 minutes before the draw time will be included in that draw.

Lotto Advance Play

Advance Play is a facility which allows you to play up to 8 draws in advance. Simply tick the appropriate Advance Play box for 2, 4, or 8 draws. Your Advance Play ticket will clearly show the number of draws you are in and it will also show the inclusive set of dates that apply to your ticket. The number of draws will always include the next Lotto draw (and Lotto Plus draws where applicable). If you win any prize in any one draw you can claim it in the usual way. On doing so you will be

issued with an exchange ticket to cover the remaining draws you have already paid for. Advance Play is an easy way to play Lotto and Lotto Plus and it ensures your lucky numbers are in the game if you are away or cannot play in any particular draw or draws.

Guaranteed Minimum Jackpots

The minimum jackpot you can win or share is guaranteed at €2 million for every draw. If the Jackpot is not won the first time it will roll over to the next Lotto draw. From there the Jackpot can grow by hundreds of thousands of euro from draw to draw and will keep on growing until it is won.

Where Can I Play Lotto?

Provided you are 18 years of age or over you can play Lotto anywhere you see the National Lottery sign. Lotto can be played any day from 7.00am to 10.00pm. Just pick up a Lotto playslip from any National Lottery Lotto Agent or play using the Quick Pick method and you’re ready to join in the fun.

How to Play Lotto

A. Choose your Own Numbers

Pick up a playslip from any National Lottery Lotto Agent. Each playslip contains eight panels. The minimum play is 2 panels per draw which may be played for €3. Additional panels may be played for €1.50 each. For each panel that you play you choose six numbers from 1 to 45, the choice is entirely up to you (perhaps your lucky numbers, house number, special dates or any other numbers that appeal to you). Mark your chosen numbers clearly with vertical lines using a blue or black ballpoint pen or a pencil. Sorry, but markers or red pens won’t do.

B. Choose Quick Pick

Simply ask your National Lottery Lotto Agent for the number of Quick Picks you wish to play (minimum 2 panels) and the Lottery terminal will print out your ticket with the randomly selected numbers on it. Alternatively, you may simply tick the Quick Pick box in the panel(s) you wish to play and the terminal will randomly select your numbers for you.

If you make an error in marking your playslip, mark the VOID box at the bottom of that panel then make your selection on another panel. DO NOT ERASE.

What is Lotto 6 of 45?

In Lotto 6 of 45 you pick six numbers… any numbers from numbers 1 to 45 inclusive. On each draw date there will be a Lotto draw consisting of a random drawing of 6 main numbers from 1 to 45. The seventh number drawn is the Bonus Number.

If, on any one line, you match the first six numbers drawn you win or share the Jackpot.

If, on any one line, you match any five numbers from the first six numbers drawn in any order and if you also match the Bonus Number you win a Match 5+ Bonus Number prize of €25,000.

If, on any one line, you match any five numbers from the first six numbers drawn in any order you win a Match 5 prize.

If, on any one line, you match any four numbers from the first six numbers drawn in any order and if you also match the Bonus Number you win a Match 4+ Bonus Number prize.

If, on any one line, you match any four numbers from the first six numbers drawn in any order you win a Match 4 prize.

If, on any one line, you match any three numbers from the first six numbers drawn in any order and if you also match the Bonus Number you win a Match 3+ Bonus Number prize.

If, on any one line, you match any three numbers from the first six numbers drawn in any order you win a Match 3 prize of €5.

How Much Can I Win?

There’s no ceiling to the amount that can be won in Lotto because the Lotto Jackpot grows bigger and bigger every day.

The bigger the number of entries the bigger the Jackpot. And if in any Lotto draw the Jackpot isn’t won, it rolls over to the following Lotto draw.

 

Remember the Bonus Number is valid only for the Match 5+ Bonus

Number, Match 4+ Bonus Number and Match 3+ Bonus Number prize categories.

A player who matches all of the first 6 numbers drawn on any one line – in any order – wins/shares the Jackpot. If there is only one Jackpot winner, that player wins the full amount for that draw. If there’s more than one Jackpot winner the Jackpot is shared equally.

The Jackpot pool is guaranteed to be at least €2 million for every draw.

If it is not won in any draw, that Jackpot is carried forward and included in the following draw’s Jackpot prize. This continues until the Jackpot is won.

Match 5+ Bonus Number Match 5

Players who match any 5 of the first 6 numbers drawn and the Bonus Number on any one line will win a prize of €25,000 (up to a maximum

of 100 winners; more than 100 winners share €2.5 million equally).

Players who match any 5 of the first 6 numbers drawn on any one line will share in a prize pool that will be 5.38% of the total prize pool.

Match 4+ Bonus Number Match 4

Players who match any 4 of the first 6 numbers drawn and the Bonus Number on any one line will share in a prize pool that will be 1.35% of the total prize pool.

Players who match any 4 of the first 6 numbers drawn on any one line will share in a prize pool that will be 8.30% of the total prize pool.

Match 3+ Bonus Number Match 3

Players who match any 3 of the first 6 numbers drawn and the Bonus Number on any one line will share in a prize pool that will be 5.53% of the total prize pool.

Players who match any 3 of the first 6 numbers drawn on any one line will win a prize of €5.
