Increase your chances of winning with Irish Lotto +

One of the most famous features of the Irish Lotto is two additional draws which you can bet on for just a euro. Try betting on Lotto Plus 1 & 2 games to increase your chances of winning. The prize on offer is not as large as in the main game, but then, a windfall of a few hundred thousand is not to be sneezed at either.

Join a syndicate

Lottoland offers online Betting Syndicates to boost your chances of winning.  Syndicates work by allowing a group of people to bet for plenty of lines as at the same time, giving you more chances to get the right numbers and share any prize money won. Choose to join one of our smaller betting syndicates for a lower price or go all out for a big win by joining one of our mega betting syndicates with 500+ lines.

1 in 5 Lotto jackpots are won by syndicates, choose your syndicate here.

Make system bets

System bets allow you to choose more than the usual 6 numbers out of 47 for each bet. This gives you more chances to win as it is not a standard bet anymore.

To make a system bet, simply click on all the numbers you want to bet, and they will engage automatically. This means that all the possible number combinations are automatically selected for you from your chosen digits. It’s good to know that, with system bets, you have a greater chance of winning not only the main jackpot but also any of the lower division prizes.

Winning Strategy

To boost your chances of winning while ensuring that your wins aren’t shared comes from using quick picks. By betting this way, you get completely random numbers that are far less likely to be shared with other players. All numbers have the same odds of winning so you will not miss your “lucky number” by using this tool.

This has also the advantage of being much quicker and convenient- you only have to press Quick +1 button and you’re good to go!

Odds of winning the Irish Lotto

Consistency is key- the odds against winning the Irish Lotto are quite high, but the more times you bet the more chances you have to win.

The Lotto is drawn per week, which also has the advantage of creating large jackpots. Therefore, it is a good idea to keep checking the jackpot and place your bet also when it’s not so high as it is worth winning a smaller prize since there is a smaller chance of sharing it with other players.

The Jackpot for the Irish Lotto is 1 in 10,737,573 and the chance to win any prize 1 in 29. On the table below you will see what the Irish Lotto odds are depending on how many numbers you match:
