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.
