Lotto players all over the country are getting ready for what could be a potentially life-changing weekend with an astonishing €11.5 million (estimated) up for grabs in Saturday’s Lotto draw.
If one Lotto player wins the incredible amount on offer in tomorrow night’s draw, they will become the first Lotto jackpot winner of 2024.
On top of this, they will also take the 15th spot on the list of all-time highest Lotto jackpot winners ever to be seen in Ireland.
The top spot is currently held by a Mayo family syndicate which scooped €19.06 million in January 2022.
They are followed by jackpot wins by players in Carlow, Waterford, Dublin (5), Cork, Kildare, Mayo, Galway, Kilkenny and Donegal.
Galway currently holds the 10th spot on that list, with a €13,295,379 jackpot won in December 2007.
This incredible prize was won off a ticket sold at News n Choose on Main Street, Loughrea.
A National Lottery spokesperson said, “This weekend will mark the first Saturday night Lotto draw of the year and with a jackpot rolling towards an estimated €11.5 million, excitement is growing amongst players all over the country.”
“Saturday’s draw could prove to be hugely life-changing and if the incredible jackpot is won by a sole winner, they will find themselves joining the list of all-time highest jackpot winners ever to be seen in Ireland. Talk about getting the new year off to an epic start!”
