Lotto - No winner again

I run the lotto syndicate here and there used to 17 members until HR shut it down.
It’s an “operational risk” in case we win and most of the department walks out.

Only 9 members now and it’s far easier to organize and it’s run in the background, HR don’t know about it.

One winner of tonight's jackpot of €15,658,143.

The winning ticket was sold in Dublin.

Lotto not won again last night looks like we are heading for another big Bank holiday lotto if it is not won next Wednesday.

theres too many numbers in the lotto, I've said it before and I'll say it again - theres too many numbers in the lotto, once more for the people down the back - theres too many numbers in the lotto

Anyone who thinks that the lotto is rigged is a fat retard. It's seriously dumb.

I wish offer my congratulations to the National Lottery for having no overall jack pot winners during the month of May.

I am fully aware that they allowed about 24 Porsche Cayman Sport cars to be won during the month of May no more than a total cost of around €2m or less to put out a smoke screen for the general public as if it was totally out of the control of the National Lottery.

Will tomorrow nights lotto be another controlled rollover or will there be a winner?

Or should we wait to see if the 3rd largest Lottery rollover out of four which is set to be played out this year accomplished a prize fund of €17m or over, or will we have to wait until later in the year to play out that drama!

You may think that such fraud is going un-noticed.

Lol. Posts like this are why we should have thanks in after hours.

He had me till the Moon Landing Cover-Up thing.

That said, I too have noticed that bank holiday pattern over the years and often joke about it with customers, however I am sure its a simple case of confirmation bias where you only notice all the times it does happen but not the times it doesn't. Or it could be a simple case of bank holiday spacing throughout the year and what appears to be long odds against large rollovers building up and being won around the next bank holiday nearly every time is actually statistically very likely. ie, with the given probabability of several large rollovers per year due to the amount of numbers in the Irish game, the laws of probability also might mean the odds are not long at all counter intuitively for it to be won sometime in a 2 or 3 week window around the next bank holiday.
