It is not the policy of An Post National Lottery Company to release sales figures for its games at a county or other disaggregated level. However, for most general purposes, it is possible to statistically estimate sales in any county by reference to proportional population in that county. Total national lottery ticket sales in 2003 were €559 million, and in 2004 were €578 million.
