One lucky Irish Lotto player scooped €120,319 in the draw on Wednesday 20th January after matching five main numbers plus the Bonus Ball, but the jackpot of €12.5 million went unclaimed.

The numbers drawn on Wednesday were 3, 6, 17, 23, 27 and 29 with Bonus Ball 5, producing over 93,000 prize winners. There were 94 ticket holders who matched five main numbers to pick up €768 each, while the other rewards given away ranged from a €3 scratchcard for matching two main numbers plus the Bonus Ball up to €77 for matching four main numbers plus the Bonus Ball.

There were thousands of winners across the supplementary games, while 195 players matched the winning Lotto Plus Raffle number of 8183 to land €300 each.

A number of players encountered technical problems as they tried to enter the Irish Lotto draw on Wednesday morning, and National Lottery officials have confirmed the issues were caused by a cyber attack. “Indications are that this morning’s technical issues were a result of a DDOS (Distributed Denial of Service) attack affecting our communications networks,” operator Premier Lotteries Ireland (PLI) said in a statement, adding that at no point was player data affected.

The Irish Lotto jackpot is now growing more quickly as participants set their sights on a glorious eight-figure amount, and Saturday’s draw promises to be a prize-giving extravaganza. You can bet online or play from authorised retailers anywhere in Ireland, and it just might be that you land the sort of cash to transform your life overnight. Best of luck!
