Lotto results: Irish player scoops €250,000 in latest draw as location of winning ticket revealed

One lucky Lotto player scooped a massive €250,000 in Saturday's draw after winning the top prize in the Plus 2 game.

The punter matched six numbers and the bonus to win the life-changing prize.

National Lottery bosses have revealed that the lucky ticket was sold in Co Wexford.

The winning numbers in the Lotto Plus 2 draw were 4, 28, 31, 41, 45, 46 and the bonus 16.

Meanwhile, there was no winner of the jackpot worth €2 million in the main draw.

However, there were two winners of the Match 5 + Bonus Prize of €28,231 each.

The chosen numbers were 6, 19, 30, 31, 33, 43 and the bonus 40.

The €1 million prize in the Lotto Plus 1 draw also went unclaimed.

The numbers picked were 5, 9, 11, 22, 36, 47 and the bonus 6.

In total over 97,000 players won prizes in the Lotto and Lotto Plus draws on Saturday.

It comes as one lucky Lotto shop has created its second millionaire in less than two months.

Centra Summerhill in Co Meath has been revealed as the store that sold Wednesday's €4.6million winning Lotto ticket.

It comes just a few weeks after a lucky punter bought a €1 million Millionaire Raffle slip there on New Year's Eve.

Shop owner Geoff Scally was shocked to hear that he had another customer who had become an overnight millionaire.

He said: “We still get customers from far and wide saying congratulations for selling the Millionaire Raffle ticket from New Year’s Eve so I’d say our regulars will be both shocked and delighted to see that we’ve had another big winner in the community.

"I had seen news online that the jackpot ticket was sold in Meath but I never guessed that it was our store.

"I was totally surprised when I got the call from the National Lottery with the good news so I can only imagine how the winner must have felt checking their ticket after Wednesday’s draw.

"I truly hope that it brings the winner great luck and that they really enjoy their win and their new title as a Lotto jackpot winner!”
