A Dubliner has scooped the top prize of €250,000 in Saturday night’s Lotto Plus 2 draw after purchasing their Quick Pick ticket online.
The National Lottery has confirmed that a notification to the user’s online account and a separate email has now been sent to the lucky Dublin ticket holder.
The winning numbers in last night’s (Saturday 29th January) Lotto Plus 2 draw were: 08, 09, 17, 19, 21, 42 and the bonus was 39.
The online winner should make contact with the prize claims team on 1800 666 222 or email claims@lottery.ie and arrangements will be made for them to claim their prize.
Saturday night’s Lotto draw marked the first Lotto Plus Raffle promotion of the year which saw 105 players get a massive boost to their winnings as the National Lottery topped up the Lotto Plus Raffle with an additional €1 million.
The Lotto Plus Raffle typically sees between 80 and 120 winners of €500 in every draw. Last night, there were 105 Raffle winners which meant the boosted prize fund divided out to a prize of €10,024 for each Raffle winner.
The winning Lotto Plus Raffle number was: 4230
The winning ticket holders are advised to sign the back of their tickets and check www.lottery.ie for details of their nearest An Post Prize Claim Centre where prizes up to €14,999 can be claimed.
Alternatively, they can contact the National Lottery claims team on 1800 666 222 or email claims@lottery.ie. Online players will receive details of the process for claiming their prizes.
A National Lottery spokesperson said: “As well as a top prize win of €250,000 in the Lotto Plus 2 draw, last night’s draw also saw 105 players share a boosted prize fund in the Lotto Plus Raffle. Instead of receiving €500 as is the typical prize for the Lotto Plus Raffle, each of these winners will now go on to claim €10,024 after €1 million was guaranteed to be won in the Raffle for Saturday night.
"While there was no winner of the €3,416,356 jackpot on offer in last night’s draw, over 108,000 players won prizes across the Lotto and Lotto Plus games. Wednesday night’s Lotto jackpot is now set to roll to an estimated €3.8 million.”
Nearly 30 cent in every €1 spent on all National Lottery games goes back to Good Causes in the areas of sport, youth, health, welfare, education, arts, heritage, and the Irish Language.
In total more than €6 Billion has been raised for Good Causes since the National Lottery was established 34 years ago.
