Cork Lotto player scoops €38,056 in midweek draw

This Saturday’s Lotto draw promises to be truly memorable for one player as the 30th March draw will include a special ‘GUARANTEED to be won’ €1 Million Lotto Plus Raffle event.  

 The Lotto Plus Raffle typically sees between 60 and 120 winners of €500 in every draw but this Bank Holiday weekend will see one of these Raffle winners boost their winnings by an additional €1 Million.  

  Each of the tickets with the winning Lotto Plus Raffle number drawn in Saturday night’s draw will be entered into a once-off random draw where one ticket will be selected to win an additional prize of €1 Million.  

And that’s not the only life-changing prize up for grabs in Saturday’s Lotto draw. This Easter weekend, the Lotto jackpot is set to roll towards an estimated €6.5 Million which means that players will have the chance to play for not one, but two huge prizes. Lotto players dreaming of spending their Bank Holiday celebrating are reminded that tickets can be purchased in-store nationwide, through the National Lottery app or at www.lottery.ie ahead of the 7:45pm cut-off time for sales on Saturday evening.  

So far this year, six National Lottery players from Kerry, Dublin, Kildare, Wexford, Louth and Limerick have won prizes worth €1 Million and over.

Nearly 30 cent in every €1 spent on National Lottery games goes back to Good Causes in the areas of sport, youth, health, welfare, education, arts, heritage and the Irish Language. In total, more than €6 Billion has been raised for Good Causes since the National Lottery was established 36 years ago. In 2022 alone, €259.5 Million was raised for local Good Causes in communities across Ireland.
