Irish Lottery Christmas Millionaire Raffle

Become a millionaire with Irish Lottery Christmas Millionaire Raffle

Those who think that they might have the proverbial Irish luck shouldn’t miss out on the opportunity of putting it to the test. There is no better way of doing so than to purchase tickets for the upcoming Irish Lottery Christmas Millionaire Raffle. The name can be a bit misleading because the draw doesn’t take place on December 25 but almost a week later. While the winner won’t have the money ready to spend it on Christmas presents, he or she will enter the new year one million Euros richer.

A smaller version of the Millionaire Raffle

For Euromillions players, the system used in the Irish Lottery Christmas Millionaire Raffle sounds strangely familiar because they have such a lottery draw of their own. The difference is that in this case only one prize of one million Euros is awarded, so you need your ticket to be singled out. Unlike a traditional lotto game where players select their favorite numbers and hope to match them on drawing day, the raffle implies the purchasing of tickets that have a set of printed numbers.

The advantage of this system is that it is certain for one player to win the main prize, so you can rest assured that someone will become a millionaire this Christmas. In addition to the jackpot, there are more than two thousand prizes to be won, scattered over seven distinct categories. To be more exact, this year the Irish Lottery Christmas Millionaire Raffle will award 2236 prizes ranging from 500 Euros to the massive jackpot worth one million.

A two-stage lottery draw

Traditional lottery games see the numbers extracted in one clean sweep, followed immediately by the lucky stars/mega balls. Things are slightly different with the Irish Lottery Christmas Millionaire Raffle as the draw happens in two stages. The reason for why they chose this system is to make sure that all prizes are won, but there is a downside that lottery players should be aware of. For each draw there is a limited number of tickets and those who want to become a millionaire this Christmas should not waste time.

The odds of all tickets selling quickly are slim, but as the special day draws near there are less and less tickets available. If you don’t want to miss your chance this year, don’t wait until December 31 2012 when the Irish Lottery Christmas Millionaire Raffle takes place, because by then it might be already too late. British players have no less than three chances to win this year as they can purchase tickets for  Euromillions, Millionaire Raffle and the Irish Lottery Christmas Millionaire Raffle.
