The winning numbers for tonight's massive Lotto jackpot of €2,666,229 are in, but no one managed to scoop the top prize. So far this year, the jackpot has been won nine times by lucky players in Louth (2), Dublin, Kerry, Limerick, Kilkenny, Mayo, Waterford and Westmeath.
Despite the jackpot going unclaimed, tonight wasn't a total loss, with over 73,000 winners across the draws. Among them was one main draw player who came agonisingly close, matching five of the six winning numbers plus the bonus. The winning combination was 16, 19, 25, 41, 46, 47 and bonus 40.
This near miss means they now stand to collect a life-changing €120,996 - just in time for Christmas.
It was less fortunate for the Lotto Plus 1 and Lotto Plus 2 draws, where the top prizes won were only €500 and €250, respectively. Meanwhile, 76 Raffle players will each take home €500 for matching the winning raffle number.
Tonight’s main Lotto draw winning numbers are:16, 19, 25, 41, 46, 47 and bonus 40.
The Lotto Plus 1 winning numbers are: 5, 8, 17, 30, 40, 42 and bonus 12.
The Lotto Plus 2 winning numbers are: 5, 26, 32, 34, 39, 45 and bonus 15.
The winning Raffle number is: 0639.
National Lottery officials are urging players to check their tickets carefully to see if they are among the thousands of prize winners.
The winner of the €120,996 main draw prize can contact the National Lottery Claims Department at 1800 666 222 (Monday to Friday, 9.15am to 5.30pm) to arrange for collection.
This comes after an Irish player won the EuroMillions jackpot of €17,000,000 on Friday night.
