THE NATIONAL Lottery results are in and it’s time to find out who has won a life-changing amount of money tonight (January 29, 2025).

Could tonight’s jackpot of £5.3million see you handing in your notice, jetting off to the Bahamas or driving a new Porsche off a garage forecourt?

You can find out by checking your ticket against tonight’s numbers below. Good luck!

Tonight’s National Lottery Lotto winning numbers are: 07, 14, 29, 31, 38, 39 and the Bonus Ball is 56.

Tonight’s National Lottery Thunderball winning numbers are: 08, 17, 22, 30, 36 and the Thunderball is 01.

The first National Lottery draw was held on November 19 1994 when seven winners shared a jackpot of £5,874,778.

The largest amount ever to be won by a single ticket holder was £42million, won in 1996.

Gareth Bull, a 49-year-old builder, won £41million in November, 2020 and ended up knocking down his bungalow to make way for a luxury manor house with a pool.

Sue Davies, 64, bought a lottery ticket to celebrate ending five months of shielding during the pandemic — and won £500,000.

Sandra Devine, 36, accidentally won £300k – she intended to buy her usual £100 National Lottery Scratchcard, but came home with a much bigger prize.

The biggest jackpot ever to be up for grabs was £66million in January last year, which was won by two lucky ticket holders.

Another winner, Karl managed to bag £11million aged just 23 in 1996.

The odds of winning the lottery are estimated to be about one in 14million – BUT you’ve got to be in it to win it.

SINN Fein TD Pa Daly has been granted High Court permission to take legal action alleging the attendance of super junior ministers to Cabinet meetings is unconstitutional.

Ms Justice Mary Rose Gearty granted leave to the Kerry TD, meaning he can pursue his case after she was satisfied that he surmounted the “relatively low” bar of showing that he had an arguable case and that it had a prospect of success.

Senior counsel Feichin McDonagh previously told the court that the application for leave to seek judicial review is over the appointment of super junior ministers who attended meetings of the Cabinet.

He told Justice Gearty that Mr Daly wants declarations that their attendance breaches the constitution.

Mr Daly points out that Article 28 of the Constitution of Ireland limits the number of government members to 15.

The super junior ministers appointed include Fine Gael’s Hildegarde Naughton, as well as Independents Sean Canney and Noel Grealish. Fianna Fail’s Mary Butler is also a minister of state attending Cabinet.

Mr McDonagh said the papers submitted to the court raise “important issues”.

Justice Gearty said that the bar for granting leave is “relatively low and not insurmountable”.

She said that the case is one that is arguable and has a prospect of success.

She told the High Court on Wednesday: “I think you have surmounted that obstacle and I grant you leave to seek relief.”

The case will come before the court next Tuesday, after the respondents, including the Taoiseach, the Government and the Attorney General have been notified.

Mr McDonagh said that the papers will be served at the Oireachtas on Wednesday.

‘NEXT STAGE’

He also told the court that he will write individually to each super junior minister to ask if they want to join as a notice party or be joined to the respondents.

Speaking outside the High Court in Dublin, Mr Daly said: “First of all I would like to thank Judge Gearty for taking the case, and hearing it so soon.

“I’m glad that she got to hear the arguments we had to make and she has granted us leave to take the case to the next stage.

“Over the last 15 to 20 years, there has been an increase in the number of super junior ministers appointed and if you listen to the comments that were made by former taoiseach Leo Varadkar over the weekend, these super junior ministers have full access to Cabinet papers and to memos and treated equally at Government talks.

THREE SEPARATE HEADINGS

“So it is the view of an increasing number of people that this may be contrary to certain sections of the Articles of the Constitution.

“I hope that the case proceed along with the same speed as has been shown to it to date.”

There are three separate headings in the pleadings, including the number of people attending Cabinet meetings.

He said there is an issue of cabinet confidentiality as well as an issue of expenses and allowances paid to super junior ministers.

Asked if Mr Varadkar’s comments will bolster his case, Mr Daly said: “I don’t think they were unhelpful.”

Mr Daly also said it will be “interesting” to see the arguments put forward by the Government about the practice of super junior ministers attending Cabinet meetings.

DOWN ace TOM McKibbin has signed for the Saudi-backed LIV Golf league.

The 22-year-old has penned a multi-million dollar deal with the tour to join Jon Rahm’s Legion XIII team.

Jon Rahm’s team announced the news of their new addition on their social media this evening[/caption]

It is believed that the deal was in excess of $5m just to sign with the rebel league.

2024 individual LIV Golf winner Jon Rahm has long been linked with a move for the player to join his team after the relegation of Kieran Vincent from the individual standing in the league.

McKibbin joins Spaniard Rahm, England’s Tyrrell Hatton and American Caleb Surrat on the Legion XIII side.

The Northern Irish golfer won a PGA Tour card last season after claiming one of the ten dual cards up for grabs on the DP World Tour end-of-season order of merit.

Taking to social media, LEGION XIII announced the signing on their X account.

A video was posted unveiling McKibbin in their black and pink colours, along with a caption that read: “It’s official. Welcome to Legion XIII

But will forfeit his playing privileges on the PGA Tour after penning a deal with LIV.

The world 107 will now have to rely on invitations to major championships as there’s no world ranking points on offer at LIV.

He’ll be able to play certain DP World Tour in order to boost his OWGR.

If LIV golfers were previous members of the DP World Tour, they have fulfil a four-event quota to keep their membership, but fines must be paid if in place for LIV golfers to take part.

The stipulation apparently helps to strike a balance between the interests of the two organisations and the players.

McKibbin joins fellow Northern Irishman Graeme McDowell on the league ahead of the season opener next week in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
