Irish Lottery Rolls Over Again

Irish Lottery Rollover There are now been six Irish Lottery draws in 2012 but not one of these has produced a jackpot winner which means the current estimated jackpot is an impressive €5.5 million! On Saturday night the Irish Lottery rolled over again as the six main numbers drawn remained elusive to all the ticket holders participating in the game and the jackpot of €4,996,111 once again remained unclaimed. Irish Lottery players have not seen a jackpot of this proportion since October 2011!

On 15th October 2011 the Gallagher family from Moneymore in Drogheda won an impressive €5, 178,377 after the Irish Lottery rolled five times to reach this amount. The winnings numbers for this lucky family were 4, 9, 16, 28, 32, 38 and the bonus ball drawn, although not required to be a jackpot winner, was 1.

Whilst the 2012 Irish Lottery results have yet to find a jackpot winner 2011 saw numerous players match the six main numbers drawn to take home the jackpot and here we look at just a few in the lead up to 2012:

New Years Eve, as well as boasting the Christmas Millionaire Raffle for the Irish Lottery, saw the number 4, 11, 23, 30, 37, 44 (bonus ball 32) lucky for one ticket hold from the Mid West who scooped a double rollover jackpot of just over €4.1 million.
21st December 2011, just three draws prior, found one ticket holder from the North West who scooped a €2 million jackpot with the numbers 2. 14. 22. 24. 29. 41 (bonus ball 44).
17th December 2011 and the winning ticket was brought in the South netting the single ticket holder a jackpot of just over €4.8 million with the numbers 3, 10, 24, 26, 32, 44 (bonus ball 6).
The McLaughlin family from Carrickmaquigley, Redcastle matched the six main number 4, 12, 14, 16, 21, 34 (bonus ball 22) to net themselves an Irish Lottery jackpot of just over €2.6 million.

Have you noticed that three of the five winning Irish Lottery results mentioned above have contained the number 4? Maybe it’s a number you should include in your pick for the draw on Wednesday.
