If the winner of Saturday night’s Lotto jackpot of €11,179,621 shared it equally with each of Leitrim’s population, everybody would get €351.58.

It's unlikely to happen and we can't ask the winner who has so far remained anonymous since buying the winning ticket the Spar shop in Main Street, Kinlough, Co Leitrim.

The winning numbers of 10, 11, 12, 15, 18, 19 (bonus number 35) produced almost 107,000 prize winners, including the jackpot prize ticket holder, who now joins the list of the biggest winners.

According to the National Lottery, twenty jackpots worth more than €10 million have been won.
