Tonight’s lotto jackpot was the State’s highest in history at over €18 million after there was no winner of Wednesday's record lotto jackpot of €17 million.
The numbers drawn in the main Lotto draw were: 4, 12, 26, 27, 29 and 37. The bonus number was 38.
In the Lotto Plus 1 draw, the numbers were: 7, 9, 10, 11, 29, 37 and the bonus was 3.
In the Lotto Plus 2 draw, the numbers were: 12, 30, 33, 34, 37 and 45, and the bonus ball out of the drum was 31.
Bookmakers Paddy Power was earlier offering odds of 1/2 that the massive sum will be won.
The prize fund has rolled over for 16 draws since Saturday May 3rd making it the highest single total since the game began 20 years ago.
The previous biggest prize was picked up last July by the Cunningham family from Cork after they scooped €16 million.
