Lotto chiefs seek to introduce must-be-won jackpot

The must-be-won draw will be suggested by Andrew Algeo, chief executive of Premier Lotteries Ireland, in his opening statement to Wednesday's Oireachtas Joint Committee on Finance.

National Lottery chiefs are seeking regulatory approval to introduce a must-be-won draw to avoid jackpots rolling over for months without a winner. 

The move has been suggested by Premier Lotteries Ireland (PLI) to resolve the current situation where the Lotto jackpot has not been won for over six months.
