IF YOU STILL have your ticket from last Saturday night’s Lotto, you might want to have another look at the numbers – because you could have won some money after all.
The National Lottery has revealed that the numbers drawn for last Saturday’s Lotto Plus 2 draw were read incorrectly.
A misprint on one of the seven numbers drawn meant that the number 9 ball was mistakenly read out as being the number 6.
The numbers printed on balls 6 and 9 in the National Lottery draws are underlined, so that the difference between the two can be clearly made out.
The Lottery says, however, that a misprint on the 9 ball for last Saturday’s draw meant that the line was placed on the wrong side of the digit. As a result, the number was read out as being ’6′.
In order to atone for the error, Lotto authorities have agreed to pay out on both sets of numbers – significantly increasing the number of prizes on offer for a ticket holder.
Anyone whose ticket would have claimed a prize, if the number 6 had been drawn instead of the 9, can sign the back of the ticket and return it with their name, address and phone number to: Lotto Plus 2, National Lottery, Abbey Street Lower, Dublin 1.
The Lottery will refund the cost of postage for any successful ticket.
For the record, the numbers drawn in Saturday’s Lotto Plus 2 draw were 3, 9, 23, 39, 40 and 42. The bonus number was 10.
There were no winners of the top €250,000 prize with the correct numbers – but with 38 people recorded as having matched five of the six numbers, it’s possible that some lucky punter’s €250 prize could now be worth a whole lot more.

@Bart: You would be a great laugh at a party i’d say!
Was it not established his appearance in court that day was because “he was legally instructed to do so”
Also, self entitled? Care to expand further on that comment? What makes them self entitled?
Why are they idiots?
What silver spoon?
Your post seems little more than a bunch of random words thrown together with little to any thought behind them.
@Gavin Conran: Was he subpoenaed to attend ?
@Gavin Conran: Sometimes its best to avoid drivel like this. The poor lad is bitter and has a considerable chip on both shoulders.
@Alan Scott: Since when is Rugby called football.
