The biggest Irish Lotto win in history occured back in 2008, when a lottery syndicate of 16 shared a collosaul €18.9 million jackpot.

15 quarry workers hit the jackpot whilst playing in a syndicate with each employee taking home at least around €1.18 million each.

What Is The Jackpot Cap For The Irish Lotto?

The jackpot cap is currently set at €18.96 million, once rolled-over no more will be added to the jackpot until it is won.
