Lotto mania reaches the point of fever
Lotto fever took hold of the country before a potentially life-changing night’s night.
The jackpot is heading towards an estimated €19 million which could become the highest amount ever in the game.
If the lotto jackpot exceeds the current maximum limit of €18.96 million, no more money will be added to the jackpot until it has been won.
The money that normally goes to the grand prize will be distributed to the next lowest prize category where there are winners.
If the jackpot is won in an amount above 18.96 million euros, this amount will become the maximum new jackpot for the game.
A spokesperson for the National Lottery said: « Tonight’s Lotto jackpot is set to amount to an estimated €19 million, which could be a landmark in the game. »
They said: « The lotto jackpot currently stands at €18.96 million and this represents the record-breaking lotto jackpot win by the Dan Morrissey Syndicate in Carlo in June 2008, which was the largest sum ever in Lotto. »
Once the jackpot exceeds the maximum jackpot, no more money will be added to the jackpot until it has been won. The money that normally goes to the jackpot will be distributed to the next lower prize category where there are winners.
If the jackpot is won in an amount higher than 18.96 million euros, this amount will become the maximum new jackpot for the game.
