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

Trying to keep it off the wife's radar may be a challenge but I'm sure I could stick to my guns!

Anyway, I'm in, got one as a gift.

Getting slightly ahead of myself but are there any issues with a prize leaving the country?

I'm guessing a friend gave it to you, so I'd say 10k.

CIP4 · 30-12-2019 6:45pm

I bought one today. I don’t buy the lotto too often but since this one is not on too often I said I would get one.

BoroMan32 · 30-12-2019 7:46pm

I usually get one of these as a gift most years, none received this year so I'm going to buy one.

I'll report back here should I win the top prize, before reassignment to a better life.

anewme · 30-12-2019 7:47pm

Bought one for myself and my Mum.

She has her prize spent already.

SCOOP 64 · 30-12-2019 7:54pm

Didnt this use to be €20 a while back ,have not brought one this year,never have won anything.

CIP4 · 30-12-2019 8:18pm

If they don’t sell all the tickets are the number of prizes cut I.e. less €500 prizes given ?

Don't think so, unless there is a special hidden clause upon another clause.

However they won't ever make a loss, as the prize pool for 500k sales was still only ever the guts of 37% of gross revenue.

They'll still sell (well) over 400k, by end of tommorow, and thus prize pool won't ever exceed 44.4%.

Estimate would be 450k sales, prizepool allocation thus 40%. With the remaining 60% split between profit making, some to good causes, and some minor operating costs (to cover costs of ads, admin and printed tickets).

I bought one too because Im in a syndicate at work thats only €10pm, so I said I'd 'lump on' with raffle ticket!
Up €5 on last year though!

touts · 30-12-2019 9:14pm

I wonder if they will remember to put all the prizes into this draw.

PandaPoo · 30-12-2019 9:16pm

I bought one for my dad this year and last year. I'd love him to win €500! He got nothing last year.

anewme · 30-12-2019 9:20pm

I'm not a lotto person usually, but I kind of like these as Christmas present and always buy one for my Mum.

My Mum has her winnings spent already and for the short space of time (between Christmas and New Year) that people can dare to dream, it's worth the ticket price.

Of course when we win nothing, we will be effing and blinding and saying never again, but next year we will be back.

I prefer to dream upon a basis of enhanced outcomes (70-80% ^PrizePool), supplimented with studied calculated P+ factors to increase that even further.

Not with a starting basis of a mere 37%^PP, and a very high initial outlay. And from a source with a recent incident (media reported) showing an unresolved customer trust issue or contract breach.

I'm already cribbing about CAT and pension moving to 68, so 25 spent on this is just a bit of lighthearted fun at Christmas, nothing more.

Think it’s another Lottery rip-off but my son wanted it.

Signore Fancy Pants · 31-12-2019 6:41pm

I'm fairly certain I'm going to win it.

Its up to 435xxx

Mam of 4 · 31-12-2019 7:11pm

Son and I bought one between us today , I hope at least one person from the thread posts later saying they won something !

4068ac1elhodqr · 31-12-2019 7:29pm

Looks like it will hit the reduced forecast of 450k ticket sales.

Poster above is correct someone (1 out of every 75) i.e. after group spend of €1,875 may win.
With any win x15.5 more likely to be of €500notes than anything else.

Anyway off to win the Euromillions (picks) instead, with a book value upto 81.3%, even before P(+) factors are applied.

Although if I was the only one that turned up to play bingo , I still wouldn't win anything tbh

Fingers crossed you're lucky tonight !

Not sure if I'd welcome a raffle ticket or scratchcard as a gift from someone. If you do end up winning you're left with the awkward conundrum of am I expected to split the prize with the gifter.

I never get this POV. I've bought loads of scratch cards as presents over the years. People have won varying amounts, upwards of €250 in some cases, and I'd never expect anything back.

'You'd never have an ounce of luck with it', as my GFs nanny is wont to say.

One person insisted I take something once, so I made them buy me the exact same scratch card I'd given them. "Now, we're even", says I. Won feck all, but that's life.

Anyone who would begrudge someone a win......or worse, expect a slice of the winnings!.......let's just say they're not the sort of person I'd be giving presents to in the first place.

4068ac1elhodqr · 31-12-2019 9:43pm

Sales are open until 2200hrs, so shortly thereafter, perhaps half ten.
This is usually followed with a website traffic 503 crash, due to folks banging out F5 server refreshes.

dickface · 31-12-2019 10:16pm

For those curious i bought one a few hours ago and the number was in the 399,000 range

Irishphotodesk · 31-12-2019 10:17pm

Just bought 2 tickets online 477 xxx .... so the 500,000limit May be reached in the final hour, there was a difference of about 50 between the two tickets and one was purchased after the other (only one ticket purchase per transaction)

Sadb · 31-12-2019 10:31pm

I work in a shop and thought that sales were definitely down. I’ve only sold one ticket in the last few weeks, I was even working today and didn’t sell a single one! Maybe it’s the extra €5 that is putting people off.
Anyway, best of luck to you all.

BlackandGreen · 31-12-2019 11:06pm

I think it was around 2-3, they might have had them printed beforehand, i wasn't paying attention to see if it was or not.
Can't believe the guy who bought one online said it was at 477,000 now

Aoife2017 · 31-12-2019 11:24pm

I bought one online at 21.30 & it was at 447k rather than 477k. Wouldn’t have had a notion of entering but then I started reading this thread and got carried away with the excitement....

youandme13 · 31-12-2019 11:28pm

Bought one at 5:30pm in the 433k range..
