We asked Mirror readers if they would go public with their lottery win. It’s fair to say not too many of you are keen! Over three quarters – 76 per cent – responded “no way” on our poll. Only 4 per cent picked ‘absolutely… I’m rich!’.
Around 20 per cent said they would only tell close friends and family members if the won big, and who could blame them.

There is no specific limit for the number of rollovers but the prize draw cannot go higher than €250m.
And then the jackpot can only stay at that level for four draws.
If there is still no jackpot winner in the final draw – the fifth successive draw when the jackpot is €250m – the full amount is split between the winners in the next tier.
