It’s been almost a month since someone won the main jackpot.

And now the numbers for tonight’s €4.5 million Lotto draw are in – so it’s time to grab those tickets.

The jackpot prize has been rolling over since Saturday September 21, when a Lotto player in Cork won €5,325,592.

And while there are thousands of people across the country hoping to see their numbers come up, they won’t have any longer to wait.

The winning numbers in the main draw are 7, 14, 17, 23, 30 and 45. The bonus number is 21.

And in the Lotto Plus 1, which has a €500,000 top prize, the numbers that came up were 9, 17, 28, 29, 33, 44. The bonus number is 4.

The lucky digits in the Lotto plus 2 – which has a €250,000 top prize – were 11, 16, 28, 31, 33, and 42. The bonus number is 47.

It comes as the lucky winner in September admitted that she didn’t realise she had won the Lotto’s top prize until a day later – as her Internet had been down.

Speaking at Lotto HQ as she collected her prize last month, she said:

“I normally check my tickets on the app or online pretty soon after the draw but I couldn’t get a broadband connection all day.

“It’s only when a WhatsApp message finally came through from a relative later that night that I discovered the broadband was back working and the Lotto had been won.

“That prompted me to check the ticket and I was gobsmacked when I saw the numbers match one of the panels on the ticket.

“I checked about 50 times that I didn’t make a mistake or that the dates were incorrect. I said to my husband ‘I think we won the Lotto’ and he didn’t even look up from the newspaper he was reading.

“Finally, he checked the ticket and low and behold, we haven’t had a wink of sleep since! Who knows, if I never got that WhatsApp message maybe I still wouldn’t have discovered that I won the Lotto.”
