ABOUT US

At the National Lottery, we have been making dreams come true since 1987. As a leading organisation in the Irish gaming and entertainment industry, we are dedicated to offering exciting lottery games that bring people together in a safe and responsible environment, whether through our traditional draw-based games like Lotto and EuroMillions, and more recently EuroDreams, or our instant win Scratch Cards and online instant win games.
We take pride in operating with the highest standards of integrity and transparency, ensuring our players can enjoy a fair, fun, and responsible gaming experience. We have distributed over €6.5 billion to thousands of Good Causes since inception, helping to transform communities nationwide by benefiting sectors such as sports, art and culture, heritage, youth, community, health and wellbeing and Irish language.
The acquisition of PLI by La Française des Jeux (FDJ) was completed in November 2023. FDJ is regulated in France, is a publicly listed company and operator of the French National Lottery and is also the largest gaming operator in France.
Working with us means becoming part of a dynamic, customer-centric team passionate about making a difference. We are committed to fostering innovation and creativity in a collaborative work environment. If you’re a motivated individual with a passion for contributing to a socially impactful business, join us and be a part of our mission to create winners every day – not just through life-changing prizes, but through meaningful community support.
