Irish Lottery Jackpot Reaches €8 Million
It has been quite a while since we saw the Irish Lottery jackpot reach the heady heights of €8 million but that is exactly the estimated prize pool for the draw on Saturday 17th March 2012. The last time the Irish Lottery jackpot was estimated at this amount was on 7th September 2011 but the following draw only actually produced a jackpot amount of €7,738,194. This was not won and continued to roll until the 24th September 2011 when the McIntrye family from Belmullet won €11,033,593.
With such an impressive jackpot on offer from the Irish Lottery there is bound to be a lot of interest and increased ticket sales. The reason for the increase in the new estimated jackpot is that the operators of the Irish Lotto game have added €1 million to the prize pool to celebrate St Patrick’s day which falls on the same day as the draw. Let’s hope the luck of the Irish is with you!
