Each panel you play costs €1.

The top prize is €1 million!

Draw days are every Monday and the draws can be seen live on TV3 at around 8.28pm.

How to play Monday Million

There are two main ways to play Monday Million:

1. By choosing your own numbers
This means you mark a playslip with your six selected numbers.

2. By choosing Quick Pick numbers
Quick Pick means your numbers are randomly selected for you (if you can't make up your mind). You can ask your National Lottery Agent (anyone who sells Monday Million) directly for a Quick Pick. Alternatively you can mark the Quick Pick box in the panels on your playslip.

Monday Million Advance Play

Monday Million Advance Play means that you can play up to a month's worth of Monday Million draws in advance. Perfect if you're going away or can't get to a shop. Just tick the Advance Play box for two, three or four 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 Monday Million draw (and Monday Million Plus draws if you decide to play). 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 six 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 Monday Million ticket immediately before or while the game is actually on. Terminals are closed at 8pm and don't reopen until after the draw at 8.28pm is finished. Any tickets bought for the next draw will be eligible in that draw, right up to terminal closing.

Playing Monday Million Plus?
This gives you an extra chance to win €500,000 for just 50 cent! If you select to play this draw, the words PLUS YES will be printed on your ticket.

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.
