What is Irish Lotto?
Irish Lotto at Ladbrokes allows customers to place fixed-odds bets on the numbers drawn in the Irish National Lottery's Lotto.
Lotto is the Irish National Lottery's longest running lottery which has been held since April 1988.
The minimum jackpot is €2 million and rolls over if it is not won, and the odds of winning the jackpot are 1 in 10,737,573.
Irish Lotto has two scheduled draws each week, taking place every Wednesday and Saturday at 7.55 pm.
Each draw uses six main numbers plus a bonus ball from a pool of 47 balls. Customers can choose between 1 and 5 numbers before placing a bet.
If all selected numbers are included in the relevant draw, the bet is a winner. Bets are settled using the official Irish Lotto draw results.
Unlike Fast 15's and 39's, which are built around quick-draw formats, Irish Lotto follows a twice-weekly draw schedule.
