Check this before you buy a ticket
Find the licence number. A legitimate organiser shows it and names the District Court that issued it.
Read the ticket cap and any minimum. The cap sets your odds. A minimum-sales clause tells you what happens if tickets don't sell.
Check what the prize includes. Is the home finished, furnished or at builder's finish? Is there a cash alternative?
Ask who pays legal fees and tax. Terms differ. Get the answer in writing before you buy.
Look for an independent observer. Accountants and adjudicators usually supervise the draw, and many organisers stream it live.
Use the official site. Copycat sites exist. Club and county websites usually link to the real draw page.
How a house draw works
The organiser gets a licence. Clubs and charities apply to a District Court for a lottery licence before they sell a single ticket.
Tickets go on sale. Each ticket has a number. Organisers cap the total, and most sell online.
Bonus draws run along the way. Many organisers hold smaller draws for cash, trips or event tickets. Your ticket usually enters them automatically.
The house is drawn. An independent observer supervises, and the draw is often streamed live. The winner takes the home, or cash if the draw offers it.
Play within your limits
A ticket is a gamble. The chance of winning is small, and the share that reaches the cause varies by draw. You must be 18 or over to enter. Spend only what you can afford to lose.
If gambling is causing you or someone close to you harm, the Gambling Care national helpline is free on 1800 936 725. The Gambling Regulatory Authority of Ireland lists more support services.
Frequently asked questions
Are the draws listed here real?
We list an open draw only when the organiser's own website shows a ticket price, a draw date and a licence number. We re-read each organiser's site before updating this page, and each page update shows the date we last checked. Details can change after that, so confirm them on the organiser's site before you buy.
Who runs the Win a Home draws in Athlone, Kildare, London and Dublin?
Club Rossie, the fundraising arm of Roscommon GAA, ran each of these draws: Dublin in 2018, London in 2020, Kildare in 2024 and Athlone in January 2026. Club Rossie is also the organiser of the next Win a Home in Athlone draw. Funds raised go towards Gaelic games in County Roscommon.
Do you sell tickets?
No. winahomeinireland.com does not run draws, sell tickets or take payment. Each button sends you to the organiser's own site, where you buy and receive your ticket numbers.
Are house draws legal in Ireland?
Irish clubs and charities run house draws as fundraising lotteries and say they hold a lottery licence from a District Court. The Gambling Regulatory Authority of Ireland says its new charitable licence is not expected to open for applications in 2026, so the existing permit system still applies. Ask for the licence number and the court before you buy. We show the number for each open draw.
What are my chances of winning?
Your chance is the number of tickets you hold divided by the total tickets sold. The Westport draw caps sales at 12,000 tickets, so one ticket has a 1 in 12,000 chance at a sell-out and better odds if fewer sell. The January 2026 Athlone draw sold more than 85,000 tickets, so odds differ a lot between draws.
Can I enter from outside Ireland?
Many draws accept overseas entries. The Westport organiser says anyone aged 18 or over can enter from Ireland or abroad. Rules differ by draw, and you are responsible for checking that entering is allowed where you live. Read the terms and conditions first.
Can I take cash instead of the house?
It depends on the draw. Westport offers no cash alternative. The January 2026 Athlone draw let the winner choose €300,000 in cash instead of the home. Check the terms for each draw.
What if the organiser doesn't sell enough tickets?
Terms vary. Some organisers set a minimum number of tickets, and some say they may delay the draw or pay a reduced cash prize if sales fall short. Look for a minimum-sales clause before you buy.
Who pays the legal fees, stamp duty and tax if I win?
That depends on the draw, and we can't give tax or legal advice. Check what the organiser covers, then ask a solicitor or accountant about costs and tax before you enter.
How much of my ticket goes to the cause?
It varies. When Waterford GAA ran a house draw in 2025, a news report said the club kept €30 of each €100 ticket. Organisers publish different figures, so look for a breakdown on the organiser's site.
How do I get my draw listed?
Email the official draw website, ticket price, draw date and licence number to hello@winahomeinireland.com. We list a draw only if the organiser's own site shows those details.
