Irish Lotto adds Monday draw and reduces ball pool to boost millionaire winners

The Irish Lotto is reducing its ball pool and adding a Monday draw, aiming to increase millionaire winners. The game will now use 45 balls instead of 47, improving odds for players. A new Monday draw joins existing Wednesday and Saturday draws, with Lotto Plus Two's top prize increasing to €1 million. These changes, effective this autumn, follow player feedback and aim for more frequent jackpot wins, though the maximum jackpot will be capped at €16 million.
