National Lottery outlines millions of Euros won as €19.6 million jackpot looms again

With tonight's Lotto draw again capped at €19.06 million, the National Lottery has confirmed that players have shared €26 million in prizes across the past 17 draws.

This amount includes Lotto prizes won at every prize tier since Saturday 2nd October.

A National Lottery spokesperson said: “While all of us here at the National Lottery are eagerly waiting to hand over the life-changing cheque for €19.06 million to the next Lotto jackpot winner, players all over the country have continued winning prizes and have shared an astonishing €26 million across the past 17 draws.

"Since 2nd October, while the jackpot has remained capped, Lotto players throughout Ireland have continued to win prizes at every tier. This incredible amount, which is even higher than our record-breaking jackpot, includes the boosted prizes which we have seen at the Match 5+Bonus and Match 5 tiers in each of the draws since the jackpot cap came into effect.

"Ahead of tonight’s draw, we are continuing to remind players hoping to win big that the cut-off time for sales is at 7.45pm this evening and that tickets can be purchased in-store, through the National Lottery app or at www.lottery.ie ahead of the deadline," the spokesperson said. 

On Wednesday 29th September, the jackpot reached the record-breaking amount of €19,060,800 and since the draw on Saturday 2nd October, 183 players at the Match 5+Bonus or Match 5 tiers have enjoyed higher prizes than usual due to the additional funds flowing down from the capped jackpot.
