anybody buy a ticket for the lotto raffle at the end of this month ?
a total of 300,000 tickets entered into the draw…20 a ticket…by my mathematics (which can be quite poor at the best of times) i make it 1 in just over 550 tickets will win a prize…1 in 150,000 chance of being a millionaire…bought 2 myself…
Prizes:
2 x 1 Million
5 x 100,000
45 x 10,000
80 x 5000
100 x 1000
300 x 500
last year they had only 350,000 tickets for sale, this year there is 500,000! the prize list is identical to last year, except they will be pulling in an extra 3 million euros via the added 150000 tickets.
Chance of winning compared to last year has been reduced by a fair chunk.
Tickets cost 25 Euro this year too compared to 20 in previous years
If there’s only 330k tickets sold surely all the prizes are divided out between them? Are you telling me that there’s 170k tickets that they’re holding themselves in the event of not selling?
The talk in Wexford is that Kevin O’Connor from Screen, currently Preston North End and formerly Cork City, won the €1m. The ticket was bought for him by his godparents as a little Christmas gift in the Centra in nearby Castlebridge.
