Betting On The Irish Lotto UK

At Lottomart Games, you can bet on the outcome of Ireland's Lotto draw every Wednesday and Saturday at 20:00 (GMT). This is one of the many lotteries which we offer our customers the opportunity to bet on, and that means staggering jackpots, like the minimum €2m top prize for the Irish Lotto that is available even if you're not in Ireland!

The Irish Lotto is pretty easy to understand and follows the basic lotto format you'll be familiar with. There's a minimum top prize of €2m available on every draw, and if that's not won, it rolls over! A line bet consists of 6 numbers from a single pool of 47 numbers, ranging from 1 to 47. You select 6 numbers which can be your own - birthdays, house numbers, or maybe you've got a lucky number - or you can use the quick pick function to randomly select 6 numbers for you instead.

How does betting on a lottery differ from buying a ticket?

The way you play the game stays the same, so you'll notice very little difference when betting on the Irish lotto at Lottomart Games. The only change is who pays out your winnings! If you manage to hit the big jackpot prize, then Lottomart Games will payout - you can find out more about betting on lottery here.

How do I increase my chances of winning the Irish Lotto?

Sounds too good to be true, right? Well, it isn't at Lottomart Games, as we've developed exclusive boost features which allow you to increase your chances of winning a prize on any of the lotto draws we offer. The concept is pretty simple.

You've seen the Irish Lotto jackpot has climbed to a whopping £32m, and you want in on that action, but would you rather have one shot at £32m or 32 shots at one million? Well, Lottomart Games is the only place which offers you that choice. In exchange for reducing the size of the prizes available, we'll offer you a proportionate increase in line bets. We wanted to give Lottomart Games players more chances to win massive prizes. That's why we created Boost. For more information on how it works, please go to the Boost section in our support pages or the easy-to-use boost feature when placing your lottery bet.

When does the Irish Lotto draw take place?

The Irish Lotto draw occurs every Wednesday and Saturday at 20:00 UK time.

How Fast Could I Receive My Winnings When Betting On The Irish Lotto?

We will make the results available to you as soon as possible after the official draw has taken place. You can find the draw details by going to My Buys.

Most prizes will be automatically credited to your account shortly after the draw is settled, and so could be in your account within a few hours. Bigger wins in the top prize tiers may be subject to a few more verification checks and may take a little longer to be settled.

The draw history can be found here, so you can easily see what numbers are hot and what ones are not!
