Lotto fever sets in as €17m jackpot the second-highest in Irish history

This year has already seen five Lotto jackpot wins, with players from Cork, Limerick, Kilkenny, Westmeath and Galway claiming big prizes

As Lotto fever continues to grip the country, Wednesday's jackpot is heading to €17m, the second-highest total since the beginning of the game in 1988.

Any single winner could become Ireland's second-largest jackpot winner in the history of the game, and become the country's newest multi-millionaire.
