Every Ireland game on this site, ranked by top-prize odds, with the tax rules and the regulator. All odds derived from the published rules.
| Game | Top-prize odds | Any-prize odds | Ticket | Cost per unit of jackpot chance |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Daily Million | 1 in 3,262,623 | 1 in 27.83 | €1.00 | 3,262,623 EUR |
| Lotto (Ireland) | 1 in 10,737,573 | 1 in 28.71 | €2.00 | 21,475,146 EUR |
Shorter odds are not automatically better value — shorter-odds games pay smaller top prizes. Cost per unit of chance (price × odds) is the cleanest single comparison.
Irish National Lottery and EuroMillions winnings are paid tax-free — prizes are not subject to income tax. Deposit interest, dividends and capital gains earned on the money afterwards are taxed normally (CGT currently 33%), and gifts from winnings above the tax-free thresholds can trigger Capital Acquisitions Tax for the recipient.
Irish National Lottery winners can choose to remain anonymous.
