It is with a heavy heart, we announce that Éire Lottery is closing!    Covid-19 has had a devastating effect on so many charities and in response to this, we began our Lottery journey with the hopes of helping a number of these wonderful charities across Ireland. For various reasons our initiative has not been as successful as was first foreseen, so it is with sadness that we have come to the decision to cease Eire Lottery. It means that our scheduled draw for this Thursday (15th October) will not be going ahead, but be assured that if you have purchased a ticket or have a subscription we will be refunding it over the coming days. All recurring payments for subscriptions have been stopped to avoid further transactions to your card. We are most grateful to you for your amazing support and we to sincerely thank you all! We want to thank our EL team for all their hard work and of course, our beneficiary charities for their continuous support... Threshold Ireland Jack and Jill Children's Foundation Irish Hospice Foundation The Marie Keating Foundation We wish you all well and hope to engage with you again in the future! If you would no longer like to hear from us, please send us an email at info@eirelottery.ie and we will remove you from our database.  PLEASE NOTE: Refunds will be sent back to the original card that payment was taken from. It may take a few days to reach you, depending on your bank.   

The North West Hospice was our "Winner's Choice" charity this month and received a €1,000 donation from us after being nominated  Jackpot Winner, Christine Loughlin from Dowra, Co. Leitrim. The North West Hospice provides essential specialist care for those living with life-limiting illness in the communities of Sligo, Leitrim, South Donegal and West Cavan. Their integrated service is provided through in-Patient Unit, Community Palliative Care Team and their Hospital Palliative Care Team. “We are sincerely grateful to Éire Lottery for this kind donation of €1,000 and to Christine for nominating us. North West Hospice need to raise €1.3 million every year to fund our current level of service”, said Bernadatte McGarvey, Head of Communications & Fundraising at North West Hospice speaking from their Sligo office. “Fundraising has been severely affected by Covid-19 so this is much needed in these challenging times. All funds raised and donated to North West Hospice go directly towards providing our essential services”. Éire Lottery is a registered charity lottery fundraising for amazing causes across the country. Our aim is to help as many charities as we can and  with operational costs sponsored, all proceeds after prizes go to those in need. The “Winner’s Choice” gives players the unique opportunity to nominate a charity that is local or close to their own heart. If the player wins the Jackpot, their nominated charity benefits from a €1,000 donation directly from us. In Christine’s case, she nominated the North West Hospice to receive the much needed funds. In addition, we have four main beneficiary charities namely Threshold, Marie Keating Foundation, The Jack and Jill Children’s Foundation and the Irish Hospice who carry out invaluable work helping those most in need across the country.
