One player was desperately close to winning the Lotto jackpot tonight

Lotto win Ireland

So close, yet so far.

One lucky player managed to match five numbers and the bonus number in Wednesday night’s Lotto draw to take home €38,640.

The unlucky part about that is that if they’d managed to get one more number, they’d have nabbed themselves €2,332,147.

To be fair, we wouldn’t have said no to either so they can’t complain too much.

The winning numbers were 1, 8, 10, 35, 37, 42 and the bonus number was 20.

There was no winner of either the Lotto Plus 1 or Plus 2 draws.

In other news, there was a lot of luck in Tuesday night’s EuroMillions draw as a ticker worth €500,000 was sold in Portmarnock in Dublin.
