Irish Lotto twist sees 97 players win more than €10,000 each as players urged to check numbers

Almost 100 Lotto players will be celebrating after winning €10,809 each in Saturday night’s draw.

A special twist saw the National Lottery top up the prize fund for the Lotto Plus Raffle with an extra €1 million.

The Lotto Plus Raffle typically sees between 80 and 120 winners of €500 in every draw.

However, on Saturday night there were 97 winners of €10,809 each thanks to the boosted prize fund.

The winning Lotto Plus Raffle number was: 1018.

Winning ticket holders are advised to sign the back of their ships and check the National Lottery website for their nearest An Post Prize Claim Centre.

Alternately they can contact the National Lottery claims team on 1800 666 222 or email claims@lottery.ie. Online players will receive details of the process for claiming their prizes.

There was no winner of Saturday night’s €2,847,681 jackpot. Wednesday’s jackpot will now roll to an estimated €3.2 million.

A National Lottery spokesperson said: “Last night’s draw saw our second Lotto Plus Raffle promotion of the year with 97 lucky winners benefiting from the boosted prize fund.

“Instead of receiving €500 as is the typical prize for the Lotto Plus Raffle, each of these winners will now claim €10,809 after €1 million was guaranteed to be won in the Raffle for Saturday night.”
