Irish Lottery

The Irish National Lottery was launched in 1986 to replace the Irish Sweepstakes as the country looked for a new way to raise money for good causes. Currently run by Premier Lotteries Ireland, the main game, Irish Lotto, takes place twice a week on Wednesday and Saturday evenings and is responsible for regularly creating millionaires and raising billions of Euros for good causes across the Republic.

While a percentage of money from the Irish Lottery sales goes back into the prize fund, the rest goes to raise money for areas such as sport, health and welfare, arts recreation, heritage and the Irish language.
