Lotto mania hits Ireland ahead of record draw as EuroMillions results released

Irish Lotto and EuroMillions players have the chance to scoop a win of a lifetime this week thanks to two record-breaking draws.

Tuesday night's EuroMillions jackpot hit a historic €220 million and as there was no winner of the huge prize, punters will have another chance at winning on Friday.

The lucky numbers were 06, 13, 22, 45, 49 and lucky stars 10 and 11.

There was also no winner of the EuroMillions Plus top prize of €500,000.

The winning numbers were 05, 12, 17, 19 and 37.

In total, over 83,000 players in Ireland won prizes in the EuroMillions and Plus games.

Meanwhile, Wednesday night’s highly anticipated record Lotto draw will remain capped at €19,060,800 for a fourth time.

As the jackpot is capped, this means that no additional money will be added to the jackpot prize until it is won.

The funds that would normally go to the jackpot will now be distributed to the next prize tier at which there is a winner. In the last three draws, it has been the Match 5 + Bonus tier that has benefited from the prize flow-down.

If there is no winner at the Match 5 + Bonus tier, the additional funds will then be allocated to the next tier at which there is a winner.

The current Lotto jackpot has been rolling since Wednesday, June 9 and the National Lottery has confirmed that almost €40.7 million will have been raised for Good Causes in the current Lotto jackpot roll-over series.

The National Lottery are urging players hoping to win big this week to purchase their tickets early either in-store, through the National Lottery app or online.
