Irish Lotto (6 of 45): all 8,145,060 combinations on one map
How many lines does the Irish Lotto really have – and where exactly is yours? AleaMatrix gives every possible 6-of-45 combination a fixed, unmistakable point on a huge map and colours in where a draw has already landed. Find your place, remember it, come back to it.
How many combinations are there in 6 of 45?
You pick 6 numbers out of 45. The number of possible combinations is the binomial coefficient "45 choose 6" and equals 8,145,060. Each single line is equally likely: exactly 1 in 8,145,060. It is the same space as the Austrian and Hungarian 6-of-45 games – the same map shape, a different history painted onto it.
Has my line ever been drawn?
Almost certainly not. AleaMatrix holds every draw of this format going back to 8 November 2006 – a few thousand lines out of 8,145,060, well under a tenth of a percent of the space: for every drawn line there are thousands that have never come up. That says nothing about future draws – every draw is independent. Enter your six numbers and you instantly see the storage-slot number, the place on the map and – if it has happened after all – the draw date.
What the map shows
Each combination gets a unique storage-slot number through a combinatorial method. Over it a heatmap lays out the history: the more often a draw landed in an area, the warmer the colour – from calm dark to glowing red. You see the whole space of possibilities laid out in front of you at a glance, and right in the middle your own unmistakable point.
Irish Lotto 6 of 45 in numbers
The Irish Lotto has changed its ball set several times. This map holds the 6-of-45 draws, plus those draws from the wider format whose six numbers all fall within 1–45 and are therefore genuine 6-of-45 combinations. Draws that used a higher number are left out: they are not lines on this map, and counting them would silently distort every frequency on the page.
Frequently asked questions
Does the map raise my winning chance?
The winning chance is exactly the same for each of the 8,145,060 combinations – the map changes nothing about that. It is not a winning system. What it gives you is your own fixed place that you can find again, the whole draw history at a glance, and the most beautiful way to experience your numbers.
Why are some draws missing?
Only draws that are valid 6-of-45 combinations are shown. A draw containing a number above 45 belongs to a different game with a different space of possibilities; putting it on this map would place it on a slot it never occupied.
Does it cost anything to use?
The map, heatmap and pick search for one system are free and without sign-up. Premium unlocks all systems, the full history and further tools.
