When is the final Millionaire Raffle Draw?
On Monday, 5 April, a preliminary draw will take place at National Lottery Headquarters including all tickets sold up to 6pm on Monday 5 April. This draw will take place under independent supervision of KPMG and be attended by a Garda representative.

All tickets from the February and March Bonus Draws (winning and otherwise) are included in the preliminary draw.
These 707 winning tickets will then be placed in a draw drum for a final draw. The final draw will take place on the night of April 5. At the final draw, the National Lottery will draw, in order, the winning tickets for each prize value. The top seven prizes (the two €1,000,000 prizes and the five €100,000 prizes) will be drawn live on air from RTE studios.
Results for the top seven prizes will be available after the draw on April 6 on our website. Results for all prizes will be available on our website on April 7.
