Monday Million

The Monday Million is an Irish Lottery game which, as the name suggests, takes place every Monday evening and gives players a chance to win a top prize of €1 million. Monday Million draws are broadcast live on the TV3 channel in Ireland, but of course you don't need to live in Ireland to play the game or to win – you can purchase Monday Million lottery tickets online and check the latest results right here!

How to Play Monday Million

Monday Million is a 6 from 39 lottery game, so players need to select 6 numbers from the range 1 to 39 for every entry they play. When the draw takes place, seven numbers are drawn. The first six are the main numbers and the seventh number is a Bonus Number. To win the jackpot, players need to match all six main numbers, and the odds of doing that are 1 in 3,262,623. Lesser prizes can also be won by matching fewer than six main numbers, with or without the Bonus Number, as follows:

Numbers Matched	Winnings
6 Main Numbers	€1,000,000
5 Main Numbers + Bonus	€10,000
5 Main Numbers	€500
4 Main Numbers + Bonus	€100
4 Main Numbers	€25
3 Main Numbers + Bonus	€10
3 Main Numbers	€3 Scratchcard

As in the Lotto Plus 1 and Lotto Plus 2, the Monday Million lottery prizes are fixed in value, so in most cases a player who matches six main numbers will win €1,000,000 even if other players manage to do the same.

Monday Million Plus

For a small additional fee, Monday Million players can choose to have their Monday Million numbers entered into a Monday Million Plus draw which takes place straight after the main draw. Monday Million Plus has the same format as the main Monday Million game, but the prizes to be won aren't quite as big, as you can see from the schedule below:

Numbers Matched	Winnings
6 Main Numbers	€500,000
5 Main Numbers + Bonus	€5,000
5 Main Numbers	€250
4 Main Numbers + Bonus	€50
4 Main Numbers	€15
3 Main Numbers + Bonus	€5
3 Main Numbers	€2 All or Nothing Ticket

Quick Play and Advanced Play

A Quick Pick option allows players to enter a randomly generated selection of numbers into the Monday Million (and Monday Million Plus) lottery game if they wish to do so. A player can also choose to enter the same numbers – whether selected by themselves or the Quick Pick feature – for several draws in advance.
