Six numbers from 39 gives the Daily Million jackpot odds of 1 in 3,262,623. That’s far shorter than Lotto, and with two draws a day it adds up quickly. The CasinoCalcs Daily Million odds calculator above shows what that means for the way you play: your chance of the €1 million over ten years, how long you’d wait on average and what you’d spend. It’s free and the odds are exact.

Combinations out of 3,262,623. The prize for each tier is on the lottery’s own prize table; the jackpot is a fixed €1 million that doesn’t roll over and is shared if more than one line wins.
How long would you wait?
One line a day at one draw is 365 lines a year, so the average wait for the jackpot is about 9,000 years. Play both draws and it’s about 4,500. Over ten years of one line a day, the chance of the jackpot is about 0.11%, roughly 1 in 900. You’d match four or more about nine times in that decade.
Daily Million Plus
Plus is a second set of prizes on the same numbers, with a €500,000 top prize and every prize worth half. It doesn’t change your odds, only what you win when you match. Turn it on in the calculator to add its cost. For the twice-weekly game, the Irish Lotto odds calculator has the full prize tiers, and the lottery reality check shows what a lifetime of tickets adds up to.
Two draws a day makes it easy to play more than you meant to. BeGambleAware.org is free and confidential if playing stops being fun.
