What is The New Year's Lotto?
The New Year's Lotto is exclusive to Lottoland. It's based on the outcome of the Brazilian Mega Da Virada, which is played in São Paulo on the 31st of December. You bet on the outcome of the Mega Da Virada, but Lottoland's New Year's Lotto has its own prize tier. The jackpot is an incredible €100 million, and the odds are 1 in 50,063,860, which is twice as favourable as EuroJackpot.
How To Bet on The New Year's Lotto from Ireland
The New Year's Lotto draw couldn't be easier to bet on; simply select six numbers between 1 and 60, and you're ready to go. Alternatively, you can let luck decide and opt for a QuickPick – just click the Quick +1 option above the main ticket area.
Each bet costs €5, giving you one shot at that exclusive €100 million prize.
What Can I Win?
The top prize of the New Year's Lotto is a massive €100 million - quite a way to start out the new year in style. However, you can win prizes by matching just four or five numbers. While matching all six numbers will earn you the jackpot, getting five numbers correct can be worth around €7,500. Pick just four out of six numbers correctly, and you will still take home a cash prize worth an estimated €140.

El Niño: Money will rain in Spain!
If you are unlucky with Mega 2024, don't despair. You can have another chance to start 2024 as a millionaire by taking part in Spain's El Niño, which takes place on January 6th, with a top prize of €2 million at the unbelievable odds of 1 in 100,00!
El Niño is Spanish for 'the boy child'. January 6th is the day of the Epiphany, which in the Christian calendar is the day when the wise men visited the baby Jesus, bringing him gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh. This is the day that Spanish children traditionally receive their Christmas presents from Los Reyes Magos (literally 'The Magical Kings', known as the 'Three Wise Men' in English). Maybe the stars will shine on you this coming Epiphany; you could buy yourself plenty of gold, frankincense and myrrh for €2 million!
