There was one winner of Saturday night's must-win Lotto jackpot of €19 million after six months of rollovers.
Most of the country went out and bought a ticket for the big draw but, as the odds would suggest, came away disappointed with the result.
However, just because you didn't land all six numbers doesn't mean you haven't won a substantial prize.
Some 149 players have pocketed €36,687 after matching five numbers and getting the bonus.
Those who matched five numbers, of which there were 250, will still get €1,366 from their ticket.
A National Lottery spokesperson said: “Saturday’s special ‘will be won’ Lotto draw has really lived up to the excitement over the past number of days and we are delighted to see so many winners sharing in that winning feeling.
"The €19,060,800 Lotto jackpot has officially been won by a player who matched all six numbers which meant that the ‘Will be Won’ mechanism wasn’t required tonight. We are now asking all of our players to check their tickets very carefully to see if they are in possession of the golden ticket.
"If they are the lucky winner, we encourage them to sign the back of the ticket immediately and contact our prize claims team on 1800 666 222 or email claims@lottery.ie , and we will make arrangements for you to collect your prize.
“Tonight also proved to be a big night for 149 players who benefited from the boosted prize fund to the Match 5 + Bonus prize tier. As the Lotto jackpot was capped at €19,060,800, the funds that would usually go to the jackpot flowed down to the next prize tier with a winner and in tonight’s draw, the was the Match 5 + Bonus prize tier.”
The winning location of Saturday's big winner will be announced later this morning - follow the details in our blog here.
