You can also enter the Lotto Plus 1 and Lotto Plus 2 draws by ticking the Lotto + box located directly under the main game slip. The same numbers you selected in the main game will be entered in the Plus 1 and Plus 2 draws.
How does the draw work?
Six numbers and an additional bonus number are drawn from a drum containing numbered balls from 1–47 in the main draw.
The Plus 1 and Plus 2 draws take place immediately after the main draw with six main numbers and a bonus number drawn in each.
How do I win the Jackpot?
Jackpots in the main game, Plus 1 and Plus 2 draws, are won when a player matches all six main numbers.
How much can I win?
The main game jackpot is a minimum of €2 million. The top prize on Lotto Plus 1 stands at €380k, while there’s a €250k jackpot available on the Plus 2 draw.
What are the chances of winning the jackpot?
The chances of winning the main jackpot are very reasonable compared to most lotteries at just 1 in 10.7 million. As the Plus 1 and Plus 2 draws follow the same format, the odds of winning the top prize on each are also the same.
That means, for just €2.50 (€2 for your main game entry and 50c for both Plus games) you get the chance to win three jackpots.
