An Irish national lottery player could find themselves catapulted onto the 2018 Irish Rich list if their numbers come up in tonight's EuroMillions Draw with a jackpot worth a mind-blowing €110 million.

A National Lottery spokesperson said today excitement is mounting as the EuroMillions rolls to a life-changing amount.

“With the jackpot rolling to this mega amount there is massive interest from our players,” the spokesperson said. “And this is helped by the fact that Ireland is on a EuroMillions roll at the moment with three jackpot winners and 31 EuroMillions Plus wins in 2017, a record since the game began in 2004.”

“We are advising players to play early to avoid queues. You can buy your tickets in store, at www.lottery.ie or through the National Lottery App.”
