Lotto fever grips Carlow and Kilkenny as record jackpot on offer

There’s another chance tonight for Carlow’s record lotto win to be surpassed as lotto fever is gripping the nation.

The Jackpot is €19,060,800.

It won’t go any higher now until it’s won as it’s already higher than the previous high point when the Dan Morrissey Quarry Syndicate picked up 18-point-96 million in 2008.

“Why that story resonates so well with everybody is because its a work syndicate and you’ve some many good stories. You have 18 families whose life is changing for the better as well.”
