€6.5m a Lotto cash at Xmas

LOTTO punters will have a merry Christmas if they land tonight’s €6.5million rollover jackpot.

The National Lottery said excitement is building as the main prize has not been won since October 6.

A spokesman added: “We expect shop tills to be merrily ringing with the sound of shoppers buying a Lotto ticket.

“There is no better time to become a millionaire as the festive season gets into full swing.”
