Tonight’s Lotto jackpot is set to top €15 million tonight making it the biggest jackpot so far this year.
The jackpot has been rolling over since March 10th and has been further swelled by €2 million which was added over the St Patrick's weekend and further €2 million which the National Lottery threw into the pot for the Easter bank holiday weekend.
A National Lottery spokeswoman said ticket-sellers were bracing themselves for
a busy weekend. ""This Saturday will be its ninth draw and, for the last month, it has given people all over Ireland the chance to dream about what they would do if they won €15 million."
The largest Lotto jackpot so far this year was €7.5m. It was won in January by Michelle Ryan, from Athlone, Co. Westmeath.
