History of Ireland’s ‘Lotto’

The Ireland’s National Lottery’s Lotto was started in Ireland in 1988 by An Post to provide an exciting game that would change lives and raise money for good causes. In 2014, Premier Lotteries Ireland took over operations after being granted a 20-year licence by the Irish Government.

In January 2022 the largest ever Irish lotto jackpot was won, with 1 lucky person taking home over AUD$30 Million.

In 2008, sixteen quarry workers joined a syndicate that would change their lives forever, winning over AUD$28 Million between them. Can you imagine how they must have felt?!

As with most lotteries, the Irish lotto makes millionaires out of ordinary people and contributes to charity, raising on average over AUD$7 Million a week for good causes. This lottery continues to delight players with its simplicity, favourable odds, and twice-weekly jackpots.

With all of that in mind, start picking your lucky numbers, grasp that ‘luck of the Irish’ mentality, and play in the drawer to join the millionaires club this St Patrick’s Day!
