If you are looking for a brief budget day distraction, then you might be interested to know that the Euromillions jackpot tonight is €140m.

Ireland is becoming one of the luckiest places in Europe to buy a Euromillions ticket.

The jackpot has been won in Ireland four times in the last year, most recently last month.

A syndicate picked up the jackpot with a €6 Quick Pick, bought at Centra on the Church Road in Ballybrack, Co Dublin.

It brings the total amount won by Euromillions players in Ireland to more than €751m.

Eleanor Murphy is information officer with the National Lottery.

She says winning the top prize would be a huge bonus, especially on budget day.
