The National Lottery are reminding Lotto players hoping to be spending this weekend celebrating that tickets can be purchased in-store, through the National Lottery app or at www.lottery.ie ahead of the 7.45pm cut-off time for sales on Saturday evening.
A National Lottery spokesperson said: “This weekend will mark the first Saturday night Lotto draw of the year and with a Jackpot rolling towards an estimated €11.5 Million, excitement is growing amongst players all over the country. Saturday’s draw could prove to be hugely life-changing and if the incredible Jackpot is won by a sole winner, they will find themselves joining the list of all-time highest Jackpot winners ever to be seen in Ireland. Talk about getting the new year off to an epic start!”
“For players dreaming of potentially taking the highly coveted spot on the list as the 15th highest Lotto Jackpot winner, we are reminding players that the cut-off time for ticket sales is 7.45pm on Saturday evening and tickets can be purchased in-store nationwide, through the National Lottery app or at www.lottery.ie.”
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.
