Ireland Only Raffle

The Ireland Only Raffle provides an extra opportunity for EuroMillions players in Ireland to win a magnificent prize. Ten ticket holders are guaranteed to win €5,000 in every draw, creating more than 1,000 additional winners a year.

How it Works

To play the Ireland Only Raffle, you simply need to buy a EuroMillions ticket in Ireland. For every line you purchase, you will have a special code printed on your ticket that gives you entry into the supplementary game at no extra cost. It is not possible to play the Ireland Only Raffle separately from EuroMillions. It is possible, though, to win an Ireland Only Raffle prize without winning anything on EuroMillions, and vice versa.

When the EuroMillionaire's Raffle also takes place, the same code on your ticket will be entered into both draws, so you will only need to check one raffle number.

How to Win

Ten codes are randomly selected on the same night as every EuroMillions draw, guaranteeing that ten different tickets will win €5,000, as each code is unique. Winners will then have up to 90 days after the draw to claim a prize.

Special Draws

Occasionally, special raffle draws take place which usually guarantee an additional prize for one of the ten winners, or that an additional prize will be split between all winners and resulting in all winners taking home a bigger prize.
