Poll: How often do you do the lotto?

Would you buy a ticket every week or just the odd time?

FOR THE FIRST time ever, last night’s lotto draw was cancelled because of a glitch stopping people from buying tickets for the €10 million jackpot.

The National Lottery says it’s confident the draw will go ahead tonight and blamed the fault on a telecommunications issue.

Speaking this morning, the National Lottery’s Eddie Banville says the problem was particularly disappointing given that the jackpot is one of the biggest in some time.

But do you partake?

Today’s poll: How often do you do the lotto? 


Poll Results:

The odd time (2278)
Every week (1683)
Mainly when there's a big jackpot (1651)

I'm in a syndicate (518)
