Irish Lotto Draw Days and Times
The Irish Lotto draws twice a week, on Wednesday and Saturday evening in Ireland — which lands in the evening in South Africa too. Because Ireland is only one to two hours behind, there is no overnight wait. Here is the schedule.
The schedule in South African time
| Draw days | South African time |
|---|---|
| Wednesday | Evening, around 21:00 to 22:00 |
| Saturday | Evening, around 21:00 to 22:00 |
The exact SA time shifts by an hour with European daylight saving. Betting closes before the draw, so place your bet earlier in the evening and you will have the result the same night.
