What has been said?
A National Lottery spokesperson said: “Daily Million players are set to enjoy bigger windfalls across not one, but two draws this week.
"For the 9pm draws on Wednesday 15th November and Saturday 18th November, we will be adding an additional €10,000 to the prize funds for each draw.
"This €10,000 promises players to see an extra boost in their winnings as the amount will be shared amongst all winners on both Wednesday and Saturday evening.
"Almost two months ago, we ran the same promotion on 21st September and in that Thursday night draw, 1,089 winners received an extra €10 amount.
"Players hoping to be in with a chance of winning bigger than usual in Wednesday night’s draw, tickets can be purchased in-store, through the National Lottery app or at ww.lottery.ie until draw close at 9pm.”
Background
The prize boost comes after almost 90 Lotto players saw their winnings boosted this weekend in a special Lotto Plus Raffle draw.
Saturday night’s Lotto draw marked the fourth Lotto Plus Raffle promotion of the year which saw 87 players get a massive boost to their winnings as the National Lottery topped up the Lotto Plus Raffle with an additional €1 million.
The Lotto Plus Raffle typically sees around 60-120 winners of €500 in every draw. On Saturday night, there were 87 Raffle winners which meant the boosted prize fund divided out to a prize of €11,995 for each Raffle winner. The winning Lotto Plus Raffle number was: 3434.
