Meanwhile, Lotto fever continues to grow after Saturday night’s €11.3 million did not have a winner which means that next Wednesday’s jackpot is heading for an estimated €12 million. The jackpot has been rolling since Wednesday 9th June and the next winner will become the 6th winner of the Lotto jackpot in 2021. The largest Lotto winners of 2021 were a Kilkenny family who won a €12.7 million windfall in April.
