Irish Lottery Rollover for Wednesday 6th July 2011

06/07/2011 15:20:44

Tonight's Irish Lottery jackpot may look small in comparison with the enormous jackpots seen in the Euromillions Lottery lately but with odds of 8.1 million to 1 the chances of winning a major prize in the Irish Lottery are significantly higher than the 116.5 miilion to 1 odds offered by the Euromillions Lottery. With many players chasing the big jackpots, could today be a good day to aim for something a little smaller, although I doubt many of us would consider €3.2m to be a small amount!
