5. How to Enter

- Ticket numbers are:
- pre-generated in advance
- randomly shuffled
- automatically assigned upon valid entry
- Ticket numbers cannot be selected, altered, or influenced by entrants.
- Payment is made for entry into the prize competition and contributes to the costs of operating the competition.
5.2 Free Postal Entry Route
- A free entry route is available.
- To enter for free, participants must send a handwritten postal entry including:
- Full name
- Email address
- Date of birth
- The specific competition being entered
- Postal entries must be sent to the free entry address listed in Section 1 and must be received before the competition closing date.
- Entrants are responsible for any postage costs incurred.
- Free entries are processed within a reasonable timeframe.
- Free postal entries are allocated ticket numbers in the same manner as online entries and have exactly the same chance of winning.
6. Ticket Numbers
- Each competition consists of exactly 2,209 unique ticket numbers.
- Each ticket number is made up of two double-digit numbers, each ranging from 01 to 47.
- Ticket numbers are:
- pre-generated in advance
- randomly shuffled
- automatically assigned upon valid entry
- Once assigned, ticket numbers are fixed and visible in the entrant’s account and confirmation email.
- There is no limit on the number of entries per person, subject to fair use and abuse prevention.
7. Competition Closing & Draw Trigger
- A competition will proceed to a draw only once all conditions for that competition have been met.
- Once all available entries have been allocated and the competition is confirmed as full, the Promoter will announce in advance:
- the specific Irish National Lottery draw date; and
- the specific lottery results that will be used to determine the winner.
- This announcement will be made before the relevant lottery draw takes place and published on the website and/or official social channels.
- Once announced, the draw date and selection method will not be changed.
8. Winner Selection Method
- Winners are determined using publicly available Irish National Lottery results as an independent reference.
- The selection method is fixed and declared in advance:
- the Irish Lotto Bonus Ball determines the first double-digit number (01–47);
- the Lotto Plus 1 Bonus Ball determines the second double-digit number (01–47).
- The winning entry is the ticket number that exactly matches the resulting four-digit combination.
- The lottery draw used will be the next scheduled draw following the announcement.
8.1 Fallback Rule
- If the exact four-digit combination does not correspond to an assigned ticket number, the winning ticket will be the nearest lower assigned ticket number.
- If no lower assigned ticket exists, the nearest higher assigned ticket number will be selected.
- This rule is applied automatically and consistently and is not subject to discretion.
9. Prizes
- Prizes may include physical goods, digital goods, vouchers, or cash.
- A cash alternative may be offered at the Promoter’s discretion.
- Prizes are non-transferable unless otherwise agreed.
- No additional delivery charges apply within mainland Ireland.

- (a) remain entered in an alternative competition of equal or greater prize value, or
- (b) receive a refund of their entry fee.
- No additional payment will be required.
- No entrant will be disadvantaged as a result of such substitution or refund.
11. Winner Notification & Prize Claims
- Winners will be notified via email and may also be announced on the website and/or official social channels.
