    The shop across the road from Kevin Street garda station sells quick picks. Although you'd want to be getting them a day or two before each draw as they sell out quick enough.

    They wont pay any Non-UK resident a prize.

    Can I play while overseas?

    No, to play UK National Lottery games online, you must be a resident of the UK or Isle of Man at all times. You must also be physically located in the UK or Isle of Man when buying a ticket or when setting up or amending a Direct Debit Account, including changing your numbers and payment details.

    If you do not meet these requirements, any ticket purchases you make will be declared invalid and no prizes paid, and we will have the right to reclaim any prizes already paid under these circumstances.

    There are a bunch of other online sites that sell lottery tickets. Just be careful - you want to make sure they are licensed.

    Things to watch out for:
    - Charging prices above the odds as some do is a pretty good indicator of a scam...you may be paid your 20 bob, but don't expect them to turf over 190 million euros to your account!
    - Check for the licenses - Ireland, UK, Malta, Gibraltar, Isle of Man, Alderney are all safe /overseen
    - Some sites offer bets on the results of the lottery instead of the tickets themselves - these are alright, if they are actually licensed since you know you'll be paid out anyway.
    - Look for 'trustmark' signs - Gamble Aware, TÜV, GamCare and so on

    Happy hunting!
