Not me.
Someone will be able to afford a new whistle for the 2022 club season though 
Jaysus, not goldy looking chain?
60 draws without a winner.
I saw on twitter someone saying the odds that 60 draws without a winner would be 4000/1 or something. Someone might want to fact check that too
Hard to get a accurate figure as the ticket sales figures aren’t published.

I’d say the crowd that run the lotto can’t wait for it to be won to take the heat off them.
Local GAA and soccer lottos have to start a new draw running concurrently if the jackpot sits at the maximum for a certain length of time AFAIK

It’s very bad for business. When you buy a lotto ticket you’re really just buying the opportunity to day dream. Someone has to win it and someone will usually win it so you sit at your desk and imagine it could be you.
What this run has show is that it absolutely will not be you so don’t bother playing. I used to buy the odd ticket when the jackpots went over €5m or thereabouts. I can’t see myself having the same inclination after this.
Whoever does land it hasn’t a snowballs of keeping it private even if they wanted to
Depends on the liecence. The draws are capped so the €100 added each week is added to the next jackpot until the old one is won. So a jackpot of €10k can sit for 5 weeks before its won then the next draw will start at €1600 instead of €1000
There’s a local-ish lotto to me back home which was set up in 2013 and has never been won

The GAA one at home wasn’t won in years.
We (the family) won it back in 2000 or so. Think it was £1500, which the father split four ways. £375 for a college student back then was a serious wedge.
I’d say you still have 350 of it

It’s a cod
It’s a cod alright but having to share out the €19 million makes it a bit less of a cod this week.
It’ll be shared out between hundreds if not thousands.
Which will give the impression it can be won by many which will further feed into future purchases again.
And on we go…
