How To Play The Lottery Online At Lottoland

In the past, Irish lottery players have been limited to just a couple of options when it came to chasing that lottery dream. These days, Lottoland offers the opportunity to play lotteries from afar afield as the U.S., Brazil, France and South Africa - along with more familiar options like the Irish Lotto. We are going to show you the ten easy steps that allow you to play lotteries online from your phone or computer so you never need to miss out on a chance at the latest big lottery draw.

1. Sign up with Lottoland for Free

To enjoy all the benefits of playing with Lottoland simply sign up. It should take about 30 seconds or a minute tops. Click on the Sign in or sign up link at the top right-hand side of the page. Enter your email address and choose a secure password. Next, enter your personal details then click the Create a new account button. Note that only one user account per person is allowed.

2. Fund Your Account

Once your account has been created, you will be able to add funds using one of the many available payment methods. When you are signed in, click on My Account and then Add Funds. Choose the amount and then select the best option from the range of cards, electronic wallets and bank transfers available. When you wish to withdraw money, simply go to My Account and then Payout and withdraw your cash to the same payment method you used for your deposit. 

3. Choose Your Lottery

When it comes to the choice of lotteries Lottoland is hard to beat. You can play familiar lotteries such as the Lotto or Millionaire, along with other lotteries from around the world, including those infamous American super lotteries for jackpots that can reach over a billion US dollars!

Each lottery is linked to from the main menu, click on your lottery to go to that lottery’s main page where you’ll be able to play the lottery, as well as get all the information on it.

4. Fill In Your Ticket(s)

At the top of each lottery page, you’ll find the main ticket area. It’s arranged in a grid just like a paper lottery ticket. Select your numbers by clicking the corresponding numbers inside the ticket area. Alternatively, just click the Quick+1 button on the top right of the ticket for a randomly generated Quick Pick. Beside that button is the +Rest button. This allows you to “all in” with a full play slip of Quick Picks (e.g. six tickets for Millionaire or twelve for the Lotto).

Lottoland also allows you to play a special type of game called a Combo Bet, also known as a system bet. If you click more than the standard amount of numbers you will automatically enable this feature. It’s more expensive to play, but it allows you to add even more numbers to your ticket increasing your chances of winning exponentially. 

5. The DoubleJackpot Feature

Lottoland’s exclusive DoubleJackpot feature lets you win double the jackpot amount with just a single click. Lottoland partners with leading insurance companies to guarantee all jackpot and DoubleJackpot wins. This optional feature costs a little extra, and it only pays double on an actual jackpot win. Imagine the joy of winning a multi-million euro jackpot - now double it!

6. Set Your Draw & Duration Options

Like we said, one of the great things about playing the lottery online is that it allows you to dispense with all this queuing nonsense. Instead you can play upcoming draws with a few simple clicks. By default, your ticket selection will be entered into the next upcoming draw, or you can select which draw you wish to participate in. To play Millionaire for example, you can select the Tuesday draw, the Friday draw, or both.

You can also select how many draws you wish to take part in by setting your optional Duration options where you can be entered into draws up to 52 weeks in advance.

If you choose Subscription you will enable subscription billing, based on the number of weeks you pick. The Hunt option, meanwhile, will enable the JackpotHunt feature – when you check this box you will go “hunting” the current jackpot by being automatically entered into each draw until the current jackpot has been won. Perfect for those looking to hunt down one of those large, rollover jackpots.

7. Set Your Participation Options

The optional Participation features allow you to further tailor your lottery playing to suit your schedule and budget. You can opt to play when the jackpot is at a certain amount or higher, or you can pick specific upcoming dates.

8. Submit Your Ticket

All set? Ok then – click on the green Submit button. You’ll be taken to the Shopping Cart page where you can now verify or amend your purchase before you finalise it. On the right-hand side you’ll see a Delete icon (the bin), to remove the ticket from your cart and underneath it is a View icon (the magnifying glass) to view your ticket. When you click this button your ticket and numbers will appear. If you mouse-over the ticket you’ll be given the option to Edit it if you wish. Once you’re ready click on the Submit and proceed button to finalise the transaction.

9. Cross Your Fingers & Check Your Email!

Now, another great thing about playing with Lottoland that we haven’t mentioned yet is that you don’t need to mess around with tickets anymore. No more squinting down to see if you won or trying to get it scanned by one of those new machines. And no worrying about losing it either – with Lottoland everything’s done digitally, instantly, and easily!

Once your purchase has been finalised you’ll get confirmation via email. You will also be notified of draw results and any ensuing wins. Any money you win will be automatically credited to your Lottoland user account. This can then be used to play again or you can withdraw it to your bank account. In other words, you don’t have to do anything – the tickets, the results and the wins all come to you!

So, what are you waiting for? Have you seen how huge our jackpots are?!
