Excitement continues to grow all over the country as we get closer to tonight’s midweek Lotto draw which is set to be worth an estimated €12 million. A potential winner of tonight’s jackpot would become the 6th Lotto jackpot winner of the year as well as the second largest jackpot winner of 2021.
So far this year, the Lotto jackpot has been won in Limerick, Kilkenny, Westmeath, Cork and Galway. Will tonight’s draw see another county added to this list?
The current Lotto jackpot has been rolling since Wednesday 9th June and the National Lottery are urging players dreaming of scooping the life-changing amount to purchase their tickets early ahead of tonight’s 7.45pm deadline.
A National Lottery spokesperson said: “With the jackpot rolling for over two months now, tonight’s draw is set to be a big one with the jackpot heading towards an estimated €12 million. One lucky player could potentially become Ireland’s newest millionaire overnight as well as the 6th Lotto jackpot winner of the year. We are advising all of our Lotto players dreaming of winning big to continue to follow government guidelines and to purchase their tickets early to avoid queues. Don’t forget that the cut-off for ticket sales is at 7.45pm tonight and tickets can be purchased in-store, in-app or at www.lottery.ie.”
