    In total there were 55,199,552 entries into this draw from all participating countries.

    Standby for 'rolldown' on Tues 8th Oct, assuming three or more 4x balls keep showing up, week after week.

    Just shows what an utter waste of money this is, hundreds of millions playing each week and no one winning the jackpot, despite probability wise it should have been won by now.

    put your €208 a year toward something else.
    Childs education maybe ?

    If balls such as 40,41,42... keep coming out, the jackpot won't be won. After 5 max-capped jackpots of €190m it's forced to rolldown, so having 5+1stars will net an estimated 40mill or so.

    Yes and estimated 100m tickets are sold weekly, with odds of 130m/1.
    Problem is the on-going 4x saturation is on the upper extreme end of the bell curve, and has been voiding all common birthday range arrays.

    Personally am up about 1,500 so far this year, after a calculated hotpick trio win, and also won bunches of doubles last year.
    Only bother with the full price ticket on these very high rollovers. Otherwise it's just two or three low-price hotpicks. The coming rolldown in Oct may represent very high EV and is unlikely to be repeated.

    On the plus side taxes are collected from tickets, some may go to good causes and math educators often use lotteries as study examples for probability, stats and so on. Education itself is pretty much free these days anyway thanks to growing free eLearning resources.

    All Lottos should only ever be considered as light entertainment and any spending on them should be very minimal <0.5% net. Would like to see any type of smoking - face an outright total global ban, before something such a simple lottery.

    Can you explain what a hotpick is?

    Based on a similar principle to camelots own 'hotpick' thing across the water: https://www.national-lottery.co.uk/games/euromillions-hotpicks/about-euromillions-hotpicks equates to bigger prizes for fewer numbers and for less cost.

    AFAIK it's the only lotto that offers a solid 1m for 5/50 for 1.50 cost. Odds 2m/1 for prize of 1m, which may eqautes out slightly using various methodologies.

    Local bookies offer this and often at even better odds than above, perhaps though with some max payout limits. One other risk is that something like having the wrong date or unclear writing an a slip could void it. On the plus side, tiny stakes can be used e.g. 0.10.

    Again should only ever be viewed as light entertainment, if you really want to get rich: become a Plumber/Plasterer, learn Ruby/Go/ObjC or knock in a few years at med school to beome a Consultant 3DP Orthopedic Surgeon.

    Still no winner of the €190 million. Seven with 5 + 1 got nearly €2.3 million each, none of them in Ireland.

    Tue is the capped (forced) rolldown, if less than a dozen 5+1, they'll get about x10 what they did tonight.
    However if the birthday balls come up instead of the 4x's, could see 15-20 of the secondary, or likely a straight 5+2 jackpot.

    The ideal scenario would be zero top end wins, and everyone with 4*/* or 5 gets a good few wads on Euro-mills, before it's becomes Euro-ills with a pending global recession and brexitious.
    Top tip: Don't buy a ticket in Switzerland (if over topping up the aul accounts) and la chocolate, they slap (levy) 35% tax on any winnings over CHF1 million.

    I was talking to someone about it at the game in Oriel Park tonight. He said that Portugal taxes the winnings. Next Tuesday is my birthday, so I expect they have been holding back the money just for me.

    One winner got the €190 million. Not in Ireland. Four with 5 + 1 got over €5 million each, none of them in Ireland.

    A poor Irish performance, we need to take it more seriously next time.

    What a joke that was.

    Only 5 people won a life changing amount, and only 105 won over 1k - that's for 9 countries / over 200m population.

    Top prize for Ireland was €3.8k

    Nearly 3 million people won €4, including me!

    Someone did win the 500k in the Ireland only draw though.

    Birthday numbers doing quite well there, so a bit surprised there wasn’t more success

    I think the theory is that if only birthday numbers come up, there will be lots of winners. There were three or four birthday numbers in a lot of the draws with no winner.

    App isn't working but the numbers are up on Aertel.

    Apparently the jackpot was won in the UK.

    Won something as well (two draws in a row) but I'm guessing just 4 quid. Was a fiver on Friday.
