Irish Lotto Results: Latest Draw and Recent History

The latest Irish Lotto results are shown below, together with up to ten earlier draws, so tonight's and recent numbers sit in one table. Irish Lotto is the main lottery game of the Irish National Lottery, drawn in Ireland, and its official results and draw schedule are published on the Irish National Lottery's own website. In South Africa the game is best known from bookmakers' lucky numbers menus, which is why so many local readers look it up.

The block refreshes automatically from public results pages. If it is missing, the latest data is more than three days old and has been hidden rather than shown out of date.

What Irish Lotto is

Irish Lotto is a state-licensed lottery in the Republic of Ireland. Players there buy tickets, numbers are drawn, and prizes are paid from the ticket pool. The game has its own rules, number range, add-on games and prize tiers, all set and published by the Irish operator. Because those rules can change, SlotsReviews does not restate them here: check the official site for the current format and draw times before relying on any figure you see elsewhere.

Irish Lotto results versus the Daily Million

Searches for the Irish Daily Million are even more common than for Irish Lotto, but they are different games. The Daily Million is a separate daily draw with its own numbers and results. The feed on this page covers Irish Lotto only. If you are matching numbers from a bookmaker slip, check which game the market was based on before comparing.

Searches for "three draws tonight" usually refer to the main draw together with its add-on draws. The Irish operator lists every game and its result separately on its site.

Irish lottery draw history

The table above keeps the latest draw and up to ten previous ones. For a longer Irish lotto draw history, the official Irish site keeps a full archive. Some people look for hot and cold numbers in past results. That is fine as a curiosity, but each draw is random and independent: the balls have no memory, and no number is ever due. For a worked example of number statistics see UK49s hot numbers, which applies the same caution.

Irish Lotto in South Africa: lucky numbers markets

Irish Lotto is not sold in South Africa. Local interest comes from "lucky numbers" markets at some bookmakers, which are fixed-odds bets on the outcome of a foreign draw rather than lottery tickets. The legal position of these bets is unsettled. The Lotteries Act makes it an offence to run a scheme for betting on the outcome of any lottery unless another law authorises it, and in 2021 a High Court interdicted LottoStar from offering bets on lottery outcomes. Whether provincial bookmaker approvals count as such authorisation has not been decided by a court. SlotsReviews publishes results and explains the draws only; it does not recommend where to bet on them. More background is on the lucky numbers page.

Other foreign draws we track

Results for other draws often found in lucky numbers menus are on separate pages: UK49s results, Gosloto results and France Lotto. South Africa's own National Lottery games are covered under Lotto results.
