First time ever to be given one - and first time to give one!

Id say a lot of the raffle tickets are bought as gifts, I gave two as gifts myself this year. Last years winner was Kevin O'Connor the Crewe Alexandra football player who was given the ticket by his uncle for Christmas. The 2016 top prize was never claimed.

1 in 90 wins a prize and minimum win is €500. That's not bad at all.

It really is (bad).

Cost of ticket is 25e, so that's 2,250 average spend to see a prize from 500 and upwards, more lower prizes are given, than high value prizes obvs. There are more fingers on your hand than there are 6-figure prizes available and less than a dozen of 10k.

Another good year for the average retired math & stats teacher somewhere across in Ontario. Has been a cool winter there, so they'll be glad of the extra heating allowance.

Prefer hotpicks at the bookies for Ire, EU & UK lottos which offer upto 88% of actual odds (higher when using the law of large numbers etc). This MR draw is only about 36.91999999999994% ROI of prizefund's total sales.

Same! Wouldn't have only for this ****in thread. OP, you just downed your odds!!

I think you'd be better off putting your 25e on red on a roulette wheel 16 times in a row - better odds of winning, and more of a return.

Bit shorter if it's 90/1 (2,250 spend) is for any prize, to appear on average.

Seeing even x10 reds* in succession are 1 in (2.06)10 i.e. 1 in 1,376.

16 straight reds would be 105,166.04119277813747
The current record is 32 stright red/black (11m/1,c).

* European roulette table (37 pockets, with x1 'null' green), so 2.06.
Worse still for the alternative 'double green' pockets.

I just meant to get the million. I was just working on an 18/38.

I still reckon the "any prize" is achievable with better odds and a better return in 5+ roulette spins.

I got one.

It'd be nice to win a few Bob for sure

IamtheWalrus

Why don’t they tell us when the draw is? The 10 o clock thing seems a bit weird to me.

Can agree that essentially it's pants, everyone chipping in for a big cake, but then someone removes over 63% of said cake all for themselves, leaving the scraps for the public.

Perhaps one of the better ways to aim for a guaranteed 1m prize (for a much smaller outlay of 1.50stg), is via 'euromillion lotto hotpicks'.

It's still low at around 50% (2m/1 for 1m prize), but is a live and televised draw, it's not shared and perhaps availing of +(p) number of 0.5-5% advantage using the loln's.

For better odds still, 3 balls on the main lotto.ie (main draw, 6 balls) which offers 86.33% of actual true odds (pie/cake), when done at bookies. €1 hotpick on 3 balls (from 6) returns €701.

Time's up on buying your tickets. It's gone past 10pm.

My mam got one recently. It's a once a year thing for her but she never wins anything off it though.

Hopefully we will get something but the result might turn out the same as every other year.

Received one as a gift. Draw is in progress now according to http://lottery.ie

Big increase on last year when the only sold 360000. Hopefully someone on here will win something.

I'd say a huge amount goes unclaimed as people get them for Xmas presents and forget about them. Sure last year's winning ticket was not even collected

It was claimed. Kevin O'Connor, football player for Preston and who used to play for Cork City won it. The year before though it wasn't claimed.
