How To Play Irish Lotto

Irish Lotto Prize Breakdown & Odds
What’s The Highest The Irish Lotto Has Ever Been?
The biggest Irish Lotto win in history occured back in 2008, when a lottery syndicate of 16 shared a collosaul €18.9 million jackpot.
15 quarry workers hit the jackpot whilst playing in a syndicate with each employee taking home at least around €1.18 million each.
What Is The Jackpot Cap For The Irish Lotto?
The jackpot cap is currently set at €18.96 million, once rolled-over no more will be added to the jackpot until it is won. If however there are no winners matching all 6 numbers then ticket sales that would be added to the jackpot will instead be used to bolster the next tier prize (Match 5 + Bonus Ball, as seen in the table above).

Lotto Has To Be Won Tonight!

Lotto Has To Be Won Tonight!
It’s been an eventful few weeks. The EuroMillions grew week on week. Friends, family, work colleagues and practically everyone discussed what they would do if they won the colossal jackpot.
It’s now Lotto’s turn! A jackpot of €24.8M rarely comes around in this lottery and the best part, it has to be won tonight!
We want to create a positive vibe around Lottery winners. Many winners have received bad press in recent years, and rightly so for some. Winners that go public tend to get a band reputation because of the things they blow their money on. Whether it’s splashing their new found wealth on gambling, fast cars or extravagant parties.
However, what about the people that do good with their money? There are a few people that do sensible and charitable deeds. So, we have compiled a list of exactly that just for you.
Denise and Paul Hardware invested in property
Denise and Paul Hardware-The Mirror
In 2007 Denise and Paul Hardware won €5M. They celebrated by taking a cruise which is fair enough! These big moments need to be enjoyed, besides it’s likely that it will not happen again for Denise and Paul. They also made very sensible decisions like paying off their mortgage, buying their affordable dream home in Somerset and funding their son’s degree. Great decisions!
Jim Dancy Donated to Charity
Jim Dancy decided to donate all of his winnings to charity when he won Michigan’s Lottery Club Keno game. Granted, it was €10,000 which in regards to other winners is not much at all. However, it is the thought that counts right? Many people win millions and don’t donate a penny to charity. So good on Jim! If Jim has got you in the mood to donate then why not check out our charities of the month here.
Les Robins Founded a Day Camp For Children

In 1993, Les Robins won the highest Powerball Jackpot at that time of $111M. Instead of keeping it all for himself, Les decided to donate a large portion of the winnings to build a day camp for children. Being a teacher most of his life probably had a big influence on his decision but still, what a wonderful gesture! Surely Les has to be Teacher of the century?
Louise White Got Financial Experts for Guidance
Louise White – abcnews.com
Louise White also won big on the Powerball Lottery. Mrs White chose to take the lump sum of $210M instead of waiting for 30 years to claim the full jackpot. Rhode Island, (the State where Louise is from) does not allow winners to accept the prize anonymously. To counteract this measure, Louise created a trust fund to distance herself from the winnings. Pretty smart move huh? Louise also called the Trust after the flavour of sherbet she bought that led her to the shop of the winning ticket.
Well there you have it. Not all Lottery winners splash the cash and blow their millions. A few do great things and make their new found wealth improve the life of others. Remember, if you win. Be sensible, be wise and enjoy!

The Biggest Jackpots Ever!
26.07.22
(updated 26.07.22)
Published by Dhamu R
Lotteries around the world have hit all-time highs, the EuroMillions, Lotto, Powerball & the MegaMillions, but which one claimed the throne for biggest jackpot in world lottery history?! Right here you’ll find out how high these jackpots climbed, and how there could potentially be an unclaimed billionaire (more on that later).
4 – Lotto: €66 Million, May 2016
For the Lotto, the biggest jackpot ever won was on Saturday 9th January 2016, where two UK ticket holders shared a massive €66M. The jackpot had 15 successive rollovers from Saturday 14th November 2015, before being scooped by David & Carol Martin from Hawick, Scotland and an anonymous player who had bought their ticket in Worcester – Both sharing €33M each.
For this win, the jackpot cap for the Lotto was set at €50M, with the jackpot cap being revised to €22M later in 2016. It’s quite unlikely that this kind of jackpot would never be able to be won again for the Lotto – Even luckier for the winner then eh?
3 – EuroMillions: €190 Million, August 2012
Suffolk, England was where the Bayford family scooped a €190M jackpot on Friday 10th August 2012. This is one of the joint biggest jackpots ever to be won in EuroMillions history. The winners claimed a jackpot that rolled-over, 14 times, after eventually reaching the jackpot cap.
The winners of this jackpot splashed the cash on luxury cars, helicopter flights & mansions! Living the life of luxury, that’s for sure.
Who won the other one? An anonymous player in Portugal claimed a similar €190M jackpot on Friday 24th October 2014. With the Superdraw held three weeks earlier, this jackpot eventually reached the jackpot cap after rolling 5 times.
2 – Powerball: $1.58 Billion, January 2016
Won on January 13th, 2016, winning tickets were claimed in California, Florida and Tennessee, with each ticket worth at least $528.8 million.
The California winners opted to stay anonymous and did not wish to become public figures, with the wish of designating most of their winnings to charity.
They said: “We are thankful and blessed for the rare gift that has been placed in our care. We have engaged a team of advisors to educate and guide us through this process so that we can be good stewards of these new resources.”
1 – The biggest in world lottery, MegaMillions: $1.59 Billion, October 2018
The biggest world lottery jackpot of all time is yet to be claimed! Yep, you read that right! The MegaMillions reached an all-time high of $1.59 Billion in October 2018! The winning ticket was purchased in South Carolina, matching all 6 numbers on Tuesday night.
But! And this is a big but, the winner has yet to claim this colossal jackpot! Time is certainly running out for this winner to step forward, with the deadline being on April 2019.
The $1.59 billion jackpot would be paid over 30 years, or alternatively an upfront sum of $878 million. This would mean that the state will lose out on $61 million in income taxes, usually paid by the winner.
There you have it, the highest jackpots in world lottery, with an unannounced billionaire yet to step forward!
1 in 5 jackpots are won by lottery syndicates! So the next time these lotteries hit all-time highs, be sure to join our ready-made syndicates to ensure you are always in the draw, and increase your chances to win such huge jackpots, right here at Lotto Social.
MUST-WIN lottery! Will you become Britain’s biggest lottery winner?
MUST-WIN lottery! Will you become Britain’s biggest lottery winner?
Are you ready for tomorrow’s MUST WIN EuroMillions draw? It’ll be a whopping €169 million Jackpot! The lucky duck who wins the jackpot stands to become Britain’s biggest ever lottery winner! Could that be you? So here’s the scoop on a Must-Win Lottery!
What is a “Must-Win” jackpot?
Tomorrow’s EuroMillions jackpot has been rolling since 26 July 2019. After reaching the cap of €190M, a maximum of four more draws can go by before the jackpot must be awarded.
If no player matches five numbers and two lucky stars, the jackpot will roll down into the next prize tier in which there are winners.
Is Must-Win jackpot easier to win?
The good news that the odds of winning increase dramatically! The odds of matching five numbers and two lucky stars is almost 140 million to one; while the odds of getting five numbers and one lucky star are closer to just under 7 million to 1.
The even better news is that even if you don’t win the big one, there are bigger prizes on offer elsewhere too. Rather than just boosting the prize fund at the top, extra cash is distributed to people who win other prizes. Could this be you?
When is the draw and how to buy tickets?
The EuroMillions draw ticket sales will be closed at 7:30pm tomorrow and the draw will take place at 8:45pm.
A EuroMillions ticket costs €2.50, and you could select five numbers from 1-50 and two Lucky Star numbers from 1-12, or pick Lucky Dip® for a random selection.
To increase your chance of winning and share the excitement, join the Lotto Social syndicate from just €1.

Do not eat the big block of cheese until you round up lots of cats behind you
Let the cats chase behind you with a safe distance, and eat the cheese when you really need to. Eating the cats earn you extra points.Insist on eating the dots will slow you down.
You move slower when you’re eating the dots than when you’re moving through a clear alley. If one of the cats is hot on your tail, do not insist on eating more dots. Continuing to eat cheese is a surefire way to slow Pac-Mouse down and get caught by a cat.Cube Crunch
Look at the next piece while setting the current piece down
Look at the preview box on the top of your screen while you are lining up with the slots. This will help you plan your next move and make it easier to determine how you want to play.Clear more lines at one time will gain more points
Build up a mound that is at least 4 rows tall while leaving a single column completely open for the “I” piece. So you can clear 4 rows at a time to score the most points!Planet Pinball
Do not flip both flippers at the same time
Moving them independently actually makes it easier to hit the ball and less likely to drain the ball in-between them.Hold flipper up to catch the ball
If the ball is moving slowly around the flippers, you can hold one up to catch the ball. So you can take a little break and reorganize your strategy while you hold the ball in the flipper.Master Pong
Keep the ball at the corner
Having edge control as those are the places the ball is most likely to go to after rebounding. And you don’t have to move as much due to having a “bigger” area of the platform to bounce the ball off.Let the ball strike to the side of the paddle
If the ball strikes to the left or right side of the paddle, it should bounce to some other directions instead of going straight back to the opponent’s side. So the opponent will lose the game easily. Hopefully, the tips above helped you blow the dust off some old cartridge memories. Got all the tips?
