Tonight’s National Lottery jackpot is the biggest jackpot of 2018 so far

Are you feeling lucky?

The National Lottery is worth a ridiculous €8 million tonight. Yep. €8 million. A preposterous amount of money.

It hasn’t been won since 24 March, so this €8 million is the highest amount so far this year. €8 million.

Want to know exactly how much money that really is?

It’s the same as (roughly):

  • 2,285,714 chicken fillet rolls
  • 1,333,333 spice bags
  • 20,000,000 Freddo bars
  • 1,600,000 pints

or

  • 133 Seamus Colemans

If that doesn’t tempt you to buy a ticket for tonight, we don’t know what will.

A spokesperson for The National Lottery said: “Over the last 30 years we have had 1,740 Lotto jackpot winners scooping dream prizes totalling over €2.5 billion. We would love to have another winner tonight. That would certainly send temperatures rising again after the scorching weekend the country enjoyed!”

The draw will take place at 7.55pm tonight (Wednesday) so you only have a few more hours to get your tickets.

Good luck!
