Lotteries of Ireland

Colorful and bright Ireland does not differ from its neighboring countries and also have their own lottery, which for centuries has an incredible recognition among the population.
The Irish lottery starts its initial history in the fifth century. It was quite a long time ago, as you will agree. But the thing is that the times then were different and people simply could not play for anything significant, except for food or cattle.

Only some time later, when the world began to develop and there appeared more important needs for everyone, the lotteries were created to improve the financial situation of different social spheres. For example, the most popular at that time was to invest their money in medicine. But in 1930s the poverty of the Irish population reached its maximum, so it can be tracked down, that apart from the small investments of the residents, there were also some good investments from abroad, like United Kingdom, United States and many other countries. From those investments medicine in Ireland did not become cheaper and as a result, people's examinations cost incredible money.

Irish Hospital Sweepstakes was the first lottery in Ireland and also all over the world. It was gaining popularity because in all other countries, like the same UK and US, taboos were imposed on lottery tickets, so many went to Ireland to test their luck and hopefully become richer by several million. Really only the British were winning then. In place of this unfavorable lottery came National Lottery, that is still here and which is still played by every third Irishman. And this is not surprising, because you cannot take away the excitement from people; so now for the third decade the main lottery of the country makes Irish residents happier. The rules of the game are simple: you need to guess six numbers from 1 to 45 to win the Jackpot. By the way, about the Jackpot: one day the biggest win of eighteen million euro went few years ago to one simple Irishman, who was simply lucky. The amount of Jackpot is constantly changing, depending on how many tickets will be sold out and how long the Jackpot will remain untouched.Lotteries of Ireland
