The Lotto Jackpot is capped at €19,060,800

 

The Lotto jackpot reached €19,060,800, a new record, on Wednesday (29th September) and was not won. The jackpot is now capped at that amount of €19,060,800 and will remain at that level until won. A single winner of the prize will become the biggest ever Lotto jackpot winner in the history of the game in Ireland.

For each draw at Cap, the jackpot remains as €19,060,800 and funds that would normally contribute to growing the jackpot will now flow down to the next tier at which there are winners, which means that there will be even more prize money guaranteed to be won at non jackpot prize tiers.
