The Irish Lottery has a phone app to play online, but you do need an Irish address and bank account.

Congratulation to the Ireland, couple on their win. The statement that the couple was in Barcelona, the pick pocket capital of the world. Makes me wonder, what the back of the ticket looks like. I wonder if it a place to sign your ticket on the back. So no one can claim it but you.

A Dublin, Ireland, couple went on vacation with a wining lottery ticket and were oblivious to the fact that they'd won 250,000 (US$323,000).

The lucky winners checked the ticket yesterday after they came back from a trip in the sun.
