What is EuroMillions Ireland Only Raffle Special Draw?
EuroMillions Ireland Only Raffle (IOR) special draw is an Irish National Lottery special draw which guarantees one of the 10 IOR winners will win an extra prize. The IOR special draw takes place a few times a year and the prize amount is determined with each event.
How it works
For every EuroMillions draw in Ireland and for each line purchased, a player receives a unique nine-character IOR code made up of four letters and five numbers on their ticket. From all IOR codes generated in a given draw, 10 Irish players win €5,000 each.
When you play EuroMillions on special pre-announced special draw dates, each of the 10 IOR winners in that draw will win the usual €5,000 and be placed in the additional special draw. One of those will also win an additional prize!
The next EuroMillions Ireland Only Raffle Special Draw is taking place from 2nd – 30th May.
