The organisers behind the National Lottery have brought in a new rule to prevent a repeat of the near-six month wait for a top prize winner.
A total of 63 draws were done before Saturday's 'must-win' offering which saw a player in Castlebar, Co Mayo scoop the record-breaking €19.06 million jackpot.
The prize had been capped at that level since September 29, with the last jackpot winner before then coming in the first week of June last year.
