Since its inception 39 years ago, more than €6.5 billion has been raised, with €239.3 million allocated to local initiatives in 2024 alone. The societal benefits derived from these games reinforce the positive impact of participating in the lottery.
The uplifting stories of Kildare and Dublin residents illuminate not only the joy of unexpected fortunes but the broader positive contributions of the National Lottery towards community support and development.
