There’s also going to be more winners and more millionaires.
The price of playing the Lotto is set to increase again, the second time that this has happened since the franchise was bought by Canadian operator, Premier Lotteries Ireland, three years ago.
The price of a normal two-line ticket with Lotto Plus will increase by €1, it’s now going to cost €6, with the prize fund set to increase from €500,000 to €1m.
The cost of Lotto Plus 1 and Lotto Plus 2 draws will also rise from 50 cent to €1 per line. The prize fund for the top prize in Lotto Plus 1 will also double from €500,000 to €1 million.
As reported by the Irish Times, these price changes will come into effect from Saturday, September 1.
A spokesperson said: “We advised players through the press on August 4th of restrictions on advanced Lotto play due to exciting new enhancements to our Lotto Plus games. These enhancements will see more winners and more millionaires. As well as extra prizes, the changes will include the top prize in Lotto Plus 1 doubling from €500,000 to €1 million.”
