This morning.
The National Lottery has confirmed it will hold a must-win draw this Saturday, after more than seven months without a jackpot winner.
Via RTE News:
This Saturday, if there is still no winner of the jackpot, it will flow down to the winners in lower tiers. This will likely result in several winners.
National Lottery spokesperson Fran Whearty said that must-win draws will be held in the future to prevent such long rollovers from happening again, explaining that jackpots are “guaranteed to be won no more than five draws after the cap has been reached”.
Speaking on RTÉ’s Morning Ireland Mr Whearty urged players to play responsibly at the weekend because they are “as likely to win with one ticket, as with multiple”.
It’s not gambling.
It only feels like gambling.
Fight!I
Lotto ‘must-win’ draw on Saturday as jackpot unclaimed since June (RTE)
No point in playing it
I can see it only one winner of €10 grand but 4 million winners of the €5.00 bottom prize
you’d suspect this might be the outcome alright
I wonder how much money Premier Lotteries Ireland DAC trousered off the back of this “unprecedented rollover”
we only get to find out the extent of loot whenever they get around to publishing their annual accounts I guess
a perfect profit machine
It is gambling, end of story and the fact it is owned by a pension fund makes it an absolute disgrace, I was OK when it was state owned and the proceeds returned back into the community but this? No way is this acceptable.
It’s amusing that even with the Lotto Irish people are not allowed to get ahead of themselves – the Catholic guilt rap being laid on punters is a joke.
Keep rolling over this sucker gets until someone becomes a gazillionaire ? Not a hope.
Let’s do the equivalent of the woke school sports day where everyone gets a prize for competing.
Play responsible me hole.
Agreed with all the above/previous comments …
Another complete financial / brown envelopes for the bhoys economic coup and typical Oi’rish scam on the country by the ff/fg state.
Milking millions every year off the less fortunate, the poorly educated and the lazy gamblers.
If you were to invest in the fastest growing asset in history…(i.e. BUY BITCOIN NOW)
Bitcoin, now before the 35K – 45K “One last time ever” discount sale ends.
The reversal in downward price action may have already started since yesterday.. but eventualyy when the Crypto winter ends soon and the price reaches above 52-54K we’re off to the races again for our better independant financial future of freedom…
It will double again to 70-100k + then onwards and upwards before the end of the year.
– Opinion – Not typical media Financial misinformation.
