Broke after Christmas? Wondering how you are ever going to get to the end of January?
Well, never fear, as here at Her Towers, hope springs eternal and we’ve decided we’re feeling lucky this month.
With that in mind, we got in touch with the National Lottery headquarters, who told Her.ie the top seven luckiest places in Ireland to buy your ticket.
Before revealing the top spots to shop, a spokesperson for the National Lottery explained: “The Lotto agents are ranked by the number of jackpot and top prizes that have been sold in the shop. On Wednesday night, 19 Lotto players were just one number away from winning the €3.9 million jackpot!
“One of those winners also matched the bonus number to win €25,000! You never know where lady luck is going to shine so don’t forget to play at your local agent shop or online at lottery.ie,” they continued. “There are riches beyond your wildest dreams on offer in the EuroMillions draw while Saturday night’s Lotto jackpot is an estimated €4.5 million – it could be you!”
So you’ve heard it here first ladies..with a jackpot worth an estimated €4.5 million going up for grabs this Saturday night make sure you get your ticket before 7.45pm. As the saying goes, if you’re not in, you can’t win (don’t worry, if you win you can thank us later.. we accept all forms of chocolate).
So where should you buy your ticket?
