In last night’s Lotto draw, a player from Mayo grabbed €5,419,866m, which makes them the 35th National Lottery millionaire and the eleventh Lotto jackpot winner this year.
Two other players from Dublin also got a Christmas boost as they claimed €40,000 each.
The Mayo player joined other ten big winners from across the country, including five from Dublin, two from Limerick, and one each from Louth, Wexford and, most recently, Galway.
The winning numbers in last night’s main Lotto draw were: 2, 4, 5, 10, 16, 17 and the bonus was 23.
The store location where the winning ticket was purchased will be announced tomorrow.
Meanwhile, two Dublin players matched five numbers plus the bonus and scooped €40,341 each.
One Quick Pick ticket was purchased on Friday, December 27, from Schiels Supermarket in Malahide, Co Dublin, while the other Quick Pick was bought on the day of the draw from Tesco Extra in Millfield Shopping Centre in Balbriggan, Co Dublin.
National Lottery spokesperson Emma Monaghan said it was “an extraordinary night for Mayo and Dublin players, with three incredible wins.”
“We now have a Mayo player who’s €5.4 million richer, claiming the title of the 35th National Lottery millionaire as we close out the year, and two Dublin players each securing a fantastic €40,000 prize,” she said.
“Tomorrow, we’ll announce which Mayo store sold the winning Lotto Jackpot ticket, but for now, we’re urging all players in these counties to check their tickets carefully – one of them could be yours,” she added.
The National Lottery has urged three Lotto players from Mayo and Dublin who purchased tickets for Saturday night’s Lotto to check their tickets carefully.
They should sign the back of their tickets and keep them somewhere safe.
The winners should also contact the National Lottery prize claims team on 1800 666 222 or email claims@lottery.ie who will make arrangements for them to collect their prize in Lottery headquarters.
