Ireland’s Next Millionaire Will Be Made This Saturday! €1 Million GUARANTEED in Lotto Plus Raffle!

Fresh off last week’s €17 Million EuroMillions Jackpot win in Co. Cavan, the excitement is building again for National Lottery players. But this time, it’s not just about this Saturday’s Lotto Jackpot which is set to roll to an estimated €3.5 Million - the National Lottery has confirmed that €1 MILLION is guaranteed to be won in a special Lotto Plus Raffle event.

The Lotto Plus Raffle typically sees between 60 and 120 winners of €500 in every draw but for this Saturday’s draw, the National Lottery is adding a guaranteed to be won €1 Million to the Lotto Plus Raffle prize fund.

Each of the tickets with the winning Lotto Plus Raffle number drawn in Saturday night’s draw will be entered into a once-off draw, where one ticket will be selected to win an additional prize of €1 Million, as well as the usual €500 Raffle prize – an amazing prize for our Lotto players.

Meanwhile, a Lotto player in Tipperary became the biggest winner of last night’s draw after matching five numbers and the bonus to win an incredible €34,980. The winning Quick Pick ticket was purchased on Monday 15th December at Circle K Cashel, Junction 8, M8, Cashel, Co. Tipperary.

The winning numbers in Wednesday’s (17th December) Lotto draw were: 05, 24, 25, 27, 35, 47 and the bonus was 17.

The winner is advised to sign the back of their ticket and keep it safe. They should make contact with the National Lottery Prize Claims team on 1800 666 222 or email claims@lottery.ie and arrangements will be made for them to visit Lottery HQ to collect their prize.

Darragh O’Dwyer, spokesperson for the National Lottery said,
“Last night’s Lotto draw brought fantastic news for one of our players in Tipperary, who scooped a handsome prize of €34,980! We’re encouraging all our players to have their tickets checked today to see if they are our latest big winner. And that’s not all! This Saturday’s Lotto draw will see one player become the next National Lottery Millionaire as €1 MILLION is guaranteed to be won in a special Lotto Plus Raffle event."

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 €6.5 Billion has been raised for Good Causes since the National Lottery was established 37 years ago. In 2024 alone, €239.3 Million was raised for local Good Causes in communities across Ireland.
