The Irish Lottery is one of the more favorable lotteries out there, in relation to the odds on winning the jackpot, only 1 in 8.145 million. Ok, that is still a long shot, but when you compare it to the popular UK lottery, which has odds of over 1 in 13 million, or the Euro Millions with odds of over 1 in 116 million.
Normally the only downside, if you can call it that, is that the jackpots rarely creep above €5 million. The last couple of weeks are clearly the exception to the rule. The last draw was worth €8.5 million. So don't wait too much longer before giving the Irish Lottery a try, as the €9.5 million jackpot will surely be won in the next few draws.
