Irish Lotto Results

The Irish lottery has been running since March 23, 1987, making it the largest of the national lotteries. Much needed funds were raised for government funding of a number of programs such as sports and recreation, health and well-being. It also finances the arts, national heritage and even the Irish language.

Since the start of the Irish lottery, it has invested more than 3,000 million Euros in these great causes.

It has turned out to be a win situation for the public to earn huge amounts of tax-free money and pay for public programs.

The biggest win of the pot was a whopping 18,963,441 EUR won by a union of 16 workers from the Dan Morrissey quarry in Carlow Ireland. Now I'm just guessing here, but I'm thinking they do not spend much time drawing these days.

However, there is a big winner somewhere that unfortunately forgot to check their numbers and was lost in collecting EUR 3,445,934. Tickets expire 6 months after the draw. This happened in 2001, so I guess they'll never know.

According to the latest polls, something like two-thirds of Irish adults say they regularly play in the lottery. As of 2009 the tickets were made available online, now we can finally play the Irish national lottery from any part of the world.

Considering the great odds the Irish lottery gives you to win a ticket purchase seems like a good bet, do not you think. In November of 2006 the lottery changed to 6 of 45 reducing its probability of winning to 1 in 8,145,060.

That may seem like a lot I know but if you want to win the UK National Lottery with your 6 of 49 chances are only 1 at 13,983,816. In addition, the Irish lottery has a guaranteed minimum prize of 2 million Euros.
