Lotto bosses have revealed the shop location of Tuesday night’s winning ticket, which saw one lucky EuroMillions player claim the jaw-dropping top prize of the EuroMillions Plus draw worth a whopping €500,000.
EuroMillions players in Co. Kildare are urged to check their tickets very carefully after a player in the Maynooth area scooped the life-changing prize.
The winning Quick Pick ticket was sold on August 6 at the News 4 U store in Glenroyal Shopping Centre, Maynooth, Co Kildare.
The winning numbers in Tuesday’s EuroMillions Plus draw were:
07, 23, 41, 43 and 45 .
However, this isn’t the first time News 4 U in Maynooth has sold a winning ticket.
In 2005 the store sold a winning Lotto ticket worth €450,000, and in 2016 a EuroMillions Plus top prize ticket worth €500,000.
Shop owners Michael and Louise Travers said they were thrilled to get the call about the Tuesday night win. “We feel so lucky! Would you believe this is our 3rd big win in the store? We’re absolutely delighted.
“In 2005 we sold a winning Lotto ticket worth €450,000, and in 2016, another EuroMillions Plus Top Prize ticket worth €500,000!” Michael said.
“We’re a local family store, and this year we’ll be celebrating 20 years in business. We wish the winner all the best and hope that it’s one of our local customers who’s scooped the prize”, Louise added.
The Kildare winner is advised to sign the back of their ticket, which is now worth €500,000 and keep it safe.
They should contact the National Lottery prize claims team on 1800 666 222 or email claims@lottery.ie, and arrangements will be made for them to claim their prize.
As there was no winner of last night’s EuroMillions jackpot of €40,859,540, Friday night’s draw is set to roll towards an Estimated €55 Million.
Meanwhile, tonight’s Lotto jackpot is set to roll to an estimated €2.5 million.
Players hoping to be in with a chance of becoming Ireland’s next Lotto jackpot winner are reminded that tickets can be purchased in-store, through the National Lottery app or at www.lottery.ie ahead of the cut-off time for ticket sales at 7.45pm this evening.
