Meanwhile, the National Lottery has reminded Lotto players dreaming of winning big in tonight’s draw to purchase their tickets early ahead of the 7.45pm cut-off time for sales.

Tonight’s Lotto draw promises to see bigger than usual prizes as the National Lottery has confirmed that it will be adding an additional €1 million to the Lotto Plus Raffle prize fund for this weekend’s draw. The Lotto Plus Raffle typically sees between 80 and 120 winners of €500 in every draw but tonight, 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 tonight’s Lotto Plus Raffle draw will receive between €8,000 - €12,500.

Tonight’s Lotto jackpot is set to roll towards an estimated €3.5 million. 

A National Lottery spokesperson said: “As well as the estimated €3.5 million jackpot on offer, tonight’s Lotto draw also marks our first Lotto Plus Raffle promotion of the year. The guaranteed to be won €1 million in the Lotto Plus Raffle means that there will be even more big winners than usual. On a normal night, Lotto Plus Raffle winners are guaranteed to win €500 but for tonight’s draw, we are predicting each winner will receive between €8,000 and €12,500, depending on the number of winners. Don’t forget 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 this evening.”

Nearly 30 cent in every €1 spent on all 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 34 years ago. In 2021 alone, €289 million was raised for local Good Causes in communities across Ireland.
