Lotto 54321 Prizes and Odds of Winning
Lotto 54321 offers a bigger variety of prizes than any other Irish Lottery game. The amount you can win is determined by a number of different factors, including how many numbers you pick and how much money you pay to play.
The more numbers you pick, the larger the prize on offer, but you must match all the numbers you choose. There are no other prizes on offer for matching fewer numbers than are stated on your ticket. For example, if you select three numbers and match one or two of them, you do not win anything.
Prizes also change depending on how much you spend on your entry. The minimum entry cost is €1 and that can win you anything between €5 and €125,000, depending on how many numbers you choose to play.
The last factor that influences the prizes you can win is whether you enter a six-number or seven-number game. A seven-number game is slightly easier to win so the prizes are a little lower than the equivalent prizes awarded in a six-number game.
Six-Number Game
In the six-number game, your numbers must appear within the six main numbers for your chosen game – Lotto, Lotto Plus 1, or Lotto Plus 2. Here are the prizes available if you play the six-number game:
| Numbers Matched | €1 Play Prize | €2 Play Prize | €3 Play Prize | €4 Play Prize | €5 Play Prize | Odds of Winning |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 5 Numbers | €125,000 | €250,000 | €375,000 | €500,000 | €625,000 | 1 in 255,657 |
| 4 Numbers | €6,000 | €12,000 | €18,000 | €24,000 | €30,000 | 1 in 11,891 |
| 3 Numbers | €550 | €1,100 | €1,650 | €2,200 | €2,750 | 1 in 811 |
| 2 Numbers | €45 | €90 | €135 | €180 | €225 | 1 in 72 |
| 1 Number | €6 | €12 | €18 | €24 | €30 | 1 in 8 |
Seven-Number Game
In the seven-number game, you get to use the Bonus ball as a matching number. The odds of winning are therefore better than in the six-number game as there is an extra chance for one of your numbers to be drawn. The prizes are adjusted accordingly and are shown in the table below:
| Numbers Matched | €1 Play Prize | €2 Play Prize | €3 Play Prize | €4 Play Prize | €5 Play Prize | Odds of Winning |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 5 Numbers | €40,000 | €80,000 | €120,000 | €160,000 | €200,000 | 1 in 73,045 |
| 4 Numbers | €3,000 | €6,000 | €9,000 | €12,000 | €15,000 | 1 in 5,096 |
| 3 Numbers | €275 | €550 | €825 | €1,100 | €1,375 | 1 in 463 |
| 2 Numbers | €32 | €64 | €96 | €128 | €160 | 1 in 51 |
| 1 Number | €5 | €10 | €15 | €20 | €25 | 1 in 7 |
