Louth luckiest county for Lotto wins

If you're planning to do the lotto this weekend you might be better off crossing the border into Co Louth and having a flutter there. 

Louth is officially the luckiest county in Ireland for lotto wins, with the most big wins per head of population in the country. 

According to The Sun Louth people have a 1 in 766 chance of winning more than €15,000 in the lotto, more than any other county in Ireland. 

They also have the best chance to win €1million or more, with 1 win for every 3,578 people in the county. 

Locals hopeful of a big win might be advised to travel further afield as Meath features in the bottom five in both these categories, with just 1 in 1,560 winning €15,000 or more, and 1 in 7,365 becoming millionaires. 

The figures take in all lotto wins over €15,000 over the thirty years of Lotto, aswell as the average population for each county over that time using census figures.
