We still fancy our chances!
There’s some big changes afoot at National Lottery HQ this week as it was revealed that there will be a price increase in the game and further changes which may reduce your chances of winning the big jackpot.
According to RTÉ, playing two lines on the Lotto will now cost you €4 – a fiver if you want Lotto Plus – while players will have to pick their lucky numbers from a total of 47 – an increase from the original 45.
These two extra numbers will apparently decrease the odds of winning the Lotto, with chances of claiming the top prize at approximately 11 million to one.
Premier Lotteries Ireland have stated that it will be “a more exciting game and bigger jackpots for our players which will generate more funds for good causes.”
