However the National Lottery has been keen to point out that, while the jackpot’s capped at €19 million, the other prizes on offer will be boosted.
There was also no winner in last night’s match 5 plus bonus, but 26 people won €29,345 each in the next group down.
26 players in 13 counties won a prize worth just over €29,000.
The winners in those locations who bought physical are being advised to sign the back and keep it safe.
They should also make a claim to the National Lottery itself and arrangements will be made for payment.

Nearly 30 cent from every euro spent on a National Lottery ticket goes into the Good Causes Fund, which supports community projects in the areas of sports, arts, Irish language, youth affairs, health and culture.
Over €6 billion has been raised for the fund since the National Lottery was established in 1987.
€425 million will be spent on Good Cause projects in 2021, part-funded by approximately €250 million raised by the National Lottery according to figures from Minister Michael McGrath.
His Department of Public Expenditure is due to publish a review on the Good Causes Fund some time in the second quarter of 2022.
