TONIGHT’S LOTTO JACKPOT is an estimated €5m.
Here are some downright amazing things that you could get with the jackpot – and still have some pocket change left over.
Of course, there are islands around Ireland that can be bought for far less than €3m. But do any of those islands come with a ready-made seal companion (see pictured), outdoor hot tub, six bedrooms replete with vistas of the sea – oh and a second home just in case? Welcome to Mermaid Isle, down in Sneem, Co Kerry.
Ever fancied rattling around in your very own castle? Look no further than Knockabbey Castle in Ardee, Co Louth. This nice pile of bricks dates all the way back to 1399, with a six-bay, three-storey remodelling in 1650, and a few more in 1754 and 1925. Not too shabby.
If you had a spare €5m handy, you could buy this Sunseeker 28 metre yacht and sail her all the way back home. It can accommodate eight guests in four cabins, all with an en suite so there’ll be no bathroom queues on the high seas. No better way to take in Lahinch or Bundoran next year, right?
Check this out – a 2005 Lear 40XR for sale. Beats battling onto budget airlines for your next trip over to visit your pals in London. This little rocket seats seven and you’ve got plenty of change from your €5m left over to hire a private pilot.
Now that you’re a millionaire, you’ll want to be attending fine art auctions. And why not buy Irish? Last month, a Francis Bacon painting called Two Figures was set for sale in Christie’s. Bad news though – although its guide price hovered around our budget, these things often tend to go up on the day. Silver lining: art appreciates in value and a Bacon was worth around just £100,000 in the 1970s.
Tonight’s Lotto jackpot is an estimated €5m. Life could be about to get interesting… – play in-store or on lottery.ie before 7.30pm tonight.
