Two lucky Lotto punters won €74,269 each when they matched five numbers and the bonus in Saturday night's draw.
The numbers drawn were: 7, 14, 17, 19, 27, 31 and bonus number 10.
The players from Dublin and Carlow came agonisingly close to scooping the €4.8million jackpot but missed by just one digit.
There was no winner of the jackpot but over 106,000 players scooped smaller prizes.
There was also no winner of the top Lotto Plus 1 prize of €1million or the Lotto Plus 2 top prize of €250,000.
The numbers drawn in the Plus 1 draw were: 2, 8, 26, 30, 42, 44 and bonus number 37.
While the numbers drawn in the Plus 2 draw were: 8, 11, 13, 37, 39, 46 and bonus number 23.
