The National Lottery gives Thursday morning passengers “a dream commute” towards €130 million!
Friday’s EuroMillions jackpot is a GUARANTEED €130 Million!
Thursday morning commuters were treated to a surprise visit from the EuroMillions Dream Inspector ahead of tomorrow night’s extra special EuroMillions draw which has a GUARANTEED jackpot of €130 million.
The “€130M” trip around Dublin saw passengers treated to an itinerary full of surprise stops and guest appearances as excitement builds ahead of Friday night’s draw
The Dream Inspector quizzed commuters on how they would spend the huge amount if they won tomorrow night. With plans ranging from buying property all over the world to enjoying the best food and drink that money could buy, the Dream Inspector was quick to remind passengers that “if you’re not in, you can’t win!”
The National Lottery has advised players already planning how they would celebrate after the Friday 29th September draw to purchase their tickets early either in-store, through the National Lottery app or at www.lottery.ie ahead of the 7.30pm deadline for ticket sales on Friday evening.
Since the EuroMillions game launched in Ireland in 2004, there have been 17 Irish EuroMillions jackpot winners. If Friday’s staggering €130 million jackpot is won in Ireland, we could see a new Irish winner added to the roll call of jackpot wins.
A National Lottery spokesperson said: “Could tomorrow night’s EuroMillions draw see a player in Ireland become the 18th Irish EuroMillions jackpot winner? The Dream Inspector has already been on hand this week to ask commuters how they’d spend the life-changing amount if they were to win big tomorrow night. With buying an island and travelling the world looking like popular choices, it’s clear that excitement is growing amongst players ahead of the draw. We are reminding all of our players dreaming of a life-changing Friday night, that tickets can be purchased in-store, through the National Lottery app and online at www.lottery.ie.”
