The Irish National Lottery is offering players a chance to win €5,000 through a bonus draw connected to its Instant Win Games. The promotion, running from February 21st to February 28th, 2026, automatically enters participants into the draw with any online play of a National Lottery Instant Win Game.
According to the lottery, one winner will be selected on March 2nd, 2026, under the supervision of KPMG. The winner will be contacted directly via email or phone, with their county of origin announced publicly following the draw. The promotion applies to games played on lottery.ie or through the National Lottery’s mobile applications.
Participation requires no additional action beyond playing an Instant Win Game during the specified period. Each player receives a single entry regardless of the number of games played or the amount wagered. The lottery encourages players to consider how they might use the prize, suggesting possibilities such as a shopping spree or a weekend getaway.
Terms and conditions for the Instant Win Game Bonus Draw are available on the National Lottery’s website. The lottery’s announcement coincides with reported lottery results from other jurisdictions, including Powerball and Lucky For Life draws in Maryland, Connecticut and Vermont on February 21st, 2026, as reported by DelmarvaNow.com, Norwich Bulletin, and Burlington Free Press respectively.
