Chief Executive of the National Lottery, Dermot Griffin commented: “This current Lotto jackpot which has been rolling for nine weeks will be the second largest jackpot of the year, if won.

“The massive €11.5 million prize on offer is certainly whetting the appetite of our Lotto players who have been playing in very large numbers since Wednesday’s rollover draw.

“There will be a huge demand for tickets in the final hours before Saturday’s draw and we would advise our players to play early to avoid queues and to be in with a chance of winning this life-changing prize, just in time for Christmas.”
