01-01-2019 12:36am

Bin with mine

Weepsie · 01-01-2019 12:38am

Not me. Knew I should've bought a bottle of whiskey instead

sonic85 · 01-01-2019 12:40am

Thought the results aren't normally out till the next day?

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

racso1975 · 01-01-2019 12:42am

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.

Had two tickets to check (got my dad one, and my dad got me one), and both binned, unfortunately.

Cheers Noel, just won 500 there!
Had 4 tickets, one was a present and I bought 3.
I'd say that has me breakeven for the draws over the years.

Congratulations.

Not a dickiebird for me.

mad m · 01-01-2019 1:08am

Feck. Had two tickets. Not a stitch.

Glen_Quagmire · 01-01-2019 1:28am

Won 500 quid yay...

Do the shops pay out that much or do you need to go to the lotto office?

liam7831 · 01-01-2019 1:33am

I'd say you will get to meet The Celebrations

jimbobaloobob · 01-01-2019 1:40am

Should say it on the back of the ticket. I think you can get €500 from An Post offices.

iphone6 · 01-01-2019 2:26am

Had 4 tickets and not a thing.. doing it the last 3 years 4 tickets each time and nothing.

Probably.

dublinman1990 · 01-01-2019 4:42am

My mam & I checked her ticket. Nothing either. Ah well; better luck next time.

Cockford Ollie · 01-01-2019 10:07am

Woke up to a notification just now saying I won 500. That'll do!

Trigger Happy · 01-01-2019 10:10am

Nada for me too. Spend your winnings unwisely.

monty_python · 01-01-2019 10:11am

I was one number out from the jackpot.
From my reading I get nothing right??

Not quite...
You get to always live with the fact you were a second off from buying a ticket that would have won you a million quid!

Pretty neat, huh?

Jeju · 01-01-2019 10:34am

Didn't win the house in Dublin draw from Roscommon GAA and won nothing here either. Happier now knowing I wouldn't have been able to furnish it with the lotto winnings

Neames · 01-01-2019 11:13am

No win either.

Now I'll have to unpack my wife's suitcase.

tuisginideach · 01-01-2019 11:18am

Zilch on the one I gifted and zilch on the one I was gifted.

A Dub in Glasgo · 01-01-2019 11:27am

Nothing

Mushy · 01-01-2019 11:49am

Nothing. Least won 20 on winning streak so it softens the blow

Tails142 · 01-01-2019 11:53am

Meant to buy a ticket but forgot, guess I'll never know :-D

alroley · 01-01-2019 1:31pm

Bought one and got one as a gift - and like every year, nothing!

its_steve116 · 01-01-2019 1:55pm

I haven't got one. Best of luck to the winner

Little Less Conversation · 01-01-2019 9:45pm

And another year of buying tickets and not winning anything.

VeryTerry · 01-01-2019 9:48pm

I won one of the €500 prizes. Happy days.

Congrats!
I was one number from winning the same amount. The last one did not match. ((

sligeach · 04-01-2019 3:04am

The main prize winner was from Wexford. Anyone else not surprised by this? Anytime there's a guaranteed million prize winner, be it Euromillion draw or otherwise, the sunny southeast nearly always features. The amount of times I've seen either Wexford or Waterford as the winner, must be way ahead of the national average chances of winning. I'll have to buy my next ticket down there.

not sure to be honest if thats the case but the national lottery probably have statistics on it.

Ah sure. It's only once a year. Bought one now.

matchthis · 30-12-2019 1:34pm

Got 2 as a present, a bit more craic for New Year’s Eve build

skinny90 · 30-12-2019 1:45pm

Any idea of sales numbers...asking for a friend :pac:

Scuid Mhór · 30-12-2019 3:09pm

I'm pretty sure I will at some point win the Euromillions, but this millionaire raffle will be a nice starting point.

Got my last one about an hour ago and it was up to 378xxx.

If they didn't sell any more than 378k, it would improve win ratio from 1:83 to 1:63 due to undersell within a fixed prizing structure.

With that 1:63 (but likely to increase within 24hrs) would still be x15.5 likely to win the lowest tier prize (500notes), than any other category.

Pretty sure that it's 139,838,160/1 for EM.

For le Raffle: 1.20% of any return with x15.5 likelyhood weighting upon the lower category (€500) {within that 1.2}, assuming sell out conditions, slightly better if not.
I.e. 0.07741935483871% approx of 1k, and upwards prize.

0.000002% chance of the 1m jackpot.

Who’s bought a ticket for this?

Will the draw be shown on TV does anyone know ?

I received one as a gift.

Out of curiosity, I was wondering if I won, how much do you think I should share with the giver?

2ygb4cmqetsjhx · 30-12-2019 5:01pm

If I won I wouldn’t tell anyone. Even the person who gave it to me hahahahaha
