Excitement is growing ahead of the weekend Lotto draw after the National Lottery confirmed that it will be adding an additional €1 million to the Lotto Plus Raffle prize fund for this Saturday’s draw (17th December)
This means all winners of the Lotto Plus Raffle will take home the usual €500 PLUS share an extra €1 MILLION between them.
Lotto Plus Raffle typically sees around 100 winners of €500 in every draw but tomorrow night, players are set for a boost in their winnings. By topping up the raffle prize fund by €1 million, the National Lottery predicts that each winner of tomorrow night’s Lotto Plus Raffle draw will receive between €8,000 - €12,500, depending on the number of winners.
Tomorrow night’s jackpot is now heading towards an estimated €9 million.
National Lottery players dreaming of becoming the eleventh Lotto jackpot winner of the year and hoping to win a share of the guaranteed to be won €1 million Lotto Raffle prize, are reminded that the cut-off time for ticket sales is 7.45pm on Saturday night.
A National Lottery spokesperson said: “This weekend’s Lotto draw will mark our sixth Lotto Plus Raffle promotion of 2022. On a normal night, Lotto Plus Raffle winners are guaranteed to win €500 but for tomorrow night’s draw, we are predicting each winner will receive between €8,000 - €12,500, depending on the number of winners.
