It was a big one.
It had to be won. It just had to be. No, this isn't wishful thinking. The National Lottery changed the rules so the jackpot had to be won on Saturday.
And won it was by a lucky player in Castlebar in Mayo, although the winner of the €19.06 million jackpot has yet to make themselves known to The National Lottery.
As the jackpot has been capped since October, the funds that would usually go to the jackpot flowed down to the next highest tier at which there was a winner, which was the Match 5 + Bonus tier.
149 tickets managed to match five numbers and the bonus to share a prize fund worth almost €5.5 million and they will now go on to claim €36,687 each.
A combination of in-store and online tickets, The National Lottery has advised players to check their tickets carefully and for the 149 winners to sign the back of their tickets and keep them safe.
