Tonight, the €19.06 million jackpot goes back up for grabs as thousands of Irish players wait in the hopes of landing the life-changing amount.
While Quick Pick tickets remain the most popular option for customers, some opt to choose their own fate every now and again, so knowing the most called numbers is vital in upping your chances of a win.

Over the last 13 draws, where the record-breaking jackpot has been up for grabs, 177 Lotto players have benefited from boosted prize funds at the Match 5+ Bonus and Match 5 tiers.
Tonight’s draw will mark the fourteenth consecutive draw in which the jackpot has remained capped at the highest amount ever seen in the history of the game.
On Saturday night, two players in Dublin and Galway both matched 5 numbers and the bonus to share a prize fund of €1,034,002 to claim €517,001 each.
A National Lottery spokesperson said: “Could tonight prove to be one of the most memorable nights of one Lotto player's life?
“As players across the country continue to dream of what they would do as the next jackpot winner, we are appealing to Lotto players to purchase their tickets early either in-store, through the National Lottery app, or at www.lottery.ie ahead of the 7.45 pm cut-off time for sales.
“Now, let’s see if 17th November will be the date when we see the most unprecedented jackpot roll in the history of the game come to an end.”
