Will the balls fall for you tonight to win €6.5 million.
While the hot summer temperatures are dropping the heat is on all over Ireland as Wednesday’s Lotto Jackpot soars to an incredible €6.5 million, one of the highest rolls of the year.
A winner of this mega prize would be the 1,745th player to land a Lotto jackpot since the game started over 30 years ago, the National Lottery revealed today.
"The Lotto jackpot has been rolling since Wednesday 20th June and is now at an estimated €6.5 million," a spokesperson said.
"Over the last 30 years we have had 1,744 Lotto jackpot winners scooping dream prizes totaling over €2.5 billion. We would love to have another winner Wednesday."
The highest Jackpot win was a mega €18,963,441 won in June 2008 by a syndicate in Carlow.
"We are advising players to buy their tickets early in store, at lottery.ie or through the National Lottery App," the spokesperson added.
