Irish Lotto in short
- Run by: the Irish National Lottery, in the Republic of Ireland.
- Each result: six main numbers and a bonus number.
- Draw days, rules and prizes: published on lottery.ie.
- In South Africa: no tickets on sale; results only.
What Irish Lotto is
Irish Lotto is a state-licensed lottery in the Republic of Ireland. Players there buy tickets, numbers are drawn and prizes are paid by the operator according to its published prize structure. The game has its own number range, add-on games and prize tiers, all set by the Irish operator. Because those rules can change, and because we could not read the official rules page to confirm them, we do not restate them here: check lottery.ie for the current format and draw times before you rely on a figure you see elsewhere.
What our feed does confirm is the shape of every result: six main numbers and one bonus number, published separately. The bonus number is part of the same draw but is not one of the six; it matters only for the prize tiers the Irish rules attach to it.
Irish Lotto results vs the Daily Million and add-on draws
Searches for the Irish Daily Million are common, but it is a different game with its own draws and results. Irish Lotto also has add-on draws, which publish their own numbers. The feed on this page covers the main Irish Lotto draw only.
Searches for "three draws tonight" usually mean the main draw together with its add-on draws. The Irish National Lottery lists every game and its result separately on its site. If you are matching numbers from a slip or a post, first check which of these games it refers to.
How to check Irish Lotto numbers
- Confirm the game. Main Irish Lotto, an add-on draw or the Daily Million. Only the first is shown here.
- Match the date. The newest draw is at the top; earlier draws follow in date order.
- Count the main numbers. How many of your numbers appear among the six.
- Check the bonus number separately. Then confirm with the official result on lottery.ie.
The checker below does the counting. Type the numbers from one line and it compares them with each Irish Lotto draw in the feed, showing main matches and any bonus match. It runs only in your browser and does not say what a match pays: prize amounts come from the Irish National Lottery.
Check your numbers against recent draws
Type the numbers from one line. The checker compares them with the latest draws in our results feed and shows how many match in each draw. It runs only in your browser.
Matches only. This page publishes results; it does not take or recommend bets.
Common mistakes with Irish Lotto results
Irish numbers circulate widely in South African groups, and most disputes about them come from the same handful of mix-ups.
- Wrong game An add-on draw or the Daily Million posted as "Irish Lotto". Each has its own numbers.
- Bonus counted as a main number The bonus number is drawn separately and is not one of the six.
- Wrong date A result shared late at night may still be the previous draw. Check the date on every row.
- Retyped copies Numbers typed by hand into a post often contain errors. lottery.ie is the record.
If a bookmaker slip shows different numbers from the published result, the published result counts; a complaint goes to the bookmaker first and then to the provincial board that licenses it.
Irish Lotto draw times in SAST
Ireland uses the same clock as the UK: Irish Standard Time in summer, one hour behind SAST, and Greenwich Mean Time in winter, two hours behind SAST, with the change on the last Sundays of March and October. Whatever draw time lottery.ie gives, add one hour in the Irish summer or two in the Irish winter to get South African time.
Irish lottery draw history
The table above keeps the latest draw and up to ten earlier ones. For a longer Irish Lotto history, the Irish National Lottery keeps the full archive. Some people look for hot and cold numbers in past results. That is fine as a curiosity, but each draw is random and independent: the balls have no memory and no number is ever due. For a worked example of number statistics, see the UK49s hot and cold numbers page, which applies the same caution.
Irish Lotto in South Africa: lucky numbers bets and the law
Irish Lotto is not sold in South Africa. Local interest comes from "lucky numbers" menus at some bookmakers, which are fixed-odds bets on the outcome of a foreign draw rather than lottery tickets. The Lotteries Act, section 57(2)(g), makes betting on the outcome of any lottery an offence unless another law authorises it, and whether provincial bookmaker licences count as that authorisation has not been decided by a court. This page publishes results and explains the draw only. More background is on the lucky numbers page.
Other foreign draws we track
Results for the other draws found in lucky numbers menus are on separate pages: UK49s results, Gosloto and France Loto. South Africa's own National Lottery games are on our Lotto results pages. You must be 18 or older to gamble in South Africa; if betting on numbers is taking more time or money than you planned, read our responsible gambling page.
Questions and answers
Where are the official Irish Lotto results published?
On the Irish National Lottery's website, lottery.ie, which also publishes the draw schedule, the rules and the prize amounts of each game.
How many numbers are in an Irish Lotto result?
Our feed shows six main numbers and one bonus number for every Irish Lotto draw. The rules, including the number range, are set by the Irish National Lottery.
When is Irish Lotto drawn?
The Irish National Lottery publishes the draw days and time on lottery.ie. We do not repeat them here because we could not read the official page to confirm them. Ireland's clock is one hour behind SAST in summer and two hours in winter.
Is the Irish Daily Million the same as Irish Lotto?
No. The Daily Million is a separate game with its own draws and results. This page shows Irish Lotto only.
Can South Africans buy Irish Lotto tickets?
Irish Lotto tickets are sold in Ireland. What some South African bookmakers offer are fixed-odds bets on the outcome, a different product with a contested legal position.
Is the Irish Lotto bonus number one of the six main numbers?
No. It is drawn after the six main numbers and shown separately, after the plus sign. Under the Irish rules it only affects certain prize tiers, which lottery.ie lists, so check it on its own when you compare a line.
Can past Irish Lotto results predict the next draw?
No. Every draw is random and independent, so earlier results do not change the chance of any number.
