Euro millions jackpot soars to €130m

Tonight’s Euro Millions Superdraw jackpot will hit a massive €130m.

If claimed, the newly crowned multi-millionaire will make Euro Millions history by becoming the largest winner.

Limerick woman Dolores McNamara currently holds this title.

In July 2005 she won €115m.

Since Ireland joined the Euro Millions game in October 2004, more than six million Irish players have won prizes.

On average 50,000 Irish players win a cash prize in the game each week. This is only the second time this year the superdraw has been up for grabs.

On February 9 a lucky Belgian scooped the top prize of €100m.
