Break the jinx and win €9.5m Lotto pot

One lucky punter could be set to see their financial troubles disappear this evening — if they can break an apparent Lotto jinx and win the €9.5m rollover jackpot.

Since Feb 18, the National Lottery has failed to produce an outright winner, meaning tonight’s prize is the culmination of 10 weeks of rollovers.

The consecutive rollovers mean the prizewinning pot has reached one of its highest levels ever.
