How to play All or Nothing

What is All or Nothing?

All or Nothing is our daily, twenty-four number draw game - with a twist! Each day you can play for a chance to win €500,000. Players win by matching all twelve selected numbers or by matching nothing (none of the twelve selected numbers). Hence the name.... All or Nothing! The minimum play for All or Nothing is one panel per draw. Each panel you play costs €2.

The draw results are posted on www.lottery.ie at 9.28pm each night (so don't forget to log on!)

How to Play All or Nothing

There are two main ways to play All or Nothing:

1. By choosing your own numbers
This means you mark a playslip with your twelve selected numbers. For each panel you play you pick twelve numbers (from 1 to 24). The choice is yours!

2. By choosing Quick Pick numbers
Quick Pick means your numbers are randomly selected for you (just in case you can't think of twelve lucky numbers). You can ask your National Lottery Agent (anyone who sells All or Nothing) directly for a Quick Pick. Alternatively (if you're a bit shy) you can mark the Quick Pick box in the panels on your playslip.

All or Nothing Advance Play

Advance Play means that you can play up to a week's worth of All or Nothing draws in advance. Perfect if you're going away or can't get to a shop. Just tick the Advance Play box for three, five or seven draws, whichever suits best. The ticket you get will show the number of draws you're in and what dates apply.

Advance Play will always include the next All or Nothing draw. If you win a prize in any of the draws you can claim it in the usual way. You'll get an exchange ticket to cover any draws left on your Advance Play.

Important stuff

If you've bought your ticket from a National Lottery agent, look after it. It's your only valid record for claiming a prize.

Across each line are the twelve numbers from the individual panels you filled in, or random ones if you went for a Quick Pick. If you chose numbers instead of a Quick Pick, make sure they're the numbers you wanted before you leave the agent's premises.

Don't get caught for time!
Bear in mind that you won't be able to buy your All or Nothing ticket immediately before or while the game is actually on. Terminals are closed at 9pm and don't reopen until the following morning. Any tickets bought for the next draw will be eligible in that draw, right up to terminal closing.

You can reuse your Playslip.

If you like to play the same set of numbers every week just keep the playslip somewhere handy. You don't need to complete a fresh one each time you play.
