THE NATIONAL Lottery has confirmed that the fortunate winner of an astonishing €4.2m Lotto Jackpot has made contact, and arrangements are currently underway to facilitate the collection of the substantial prize.
Mohill, Co Leitrim is buzzing with excitement as a Centra shop emerges as the selling location for a remarkable €4,257,050 prize. The fortunate resident secured the life-changing prize in this Wednesday's Lotto draw, turning a routine visit to Centra on Station Road into a ticket to a multi-million euro fortune.
This win marks the 25th National Lottery millionaire of 2023 and the 9th Lotto Jackpot victor of the year. Notable wins have been recorded in various counties, including Limerick, Dublin, Meath, Donegal, Westmeath, and Louth.
Eugene Baxter, the proud proprietor of the Centra store, expressed his elation upon hearing the news: "Ah, it's just brilliant! Never in our wildest dreams could we have imagined that a simple trip to our Centra shop could lead to such a life-changing moment for one of our customers.
"We've never had a win this big in Mohill, and it's incredible to think that we played a part in someone's journey to a €4.2 million fortune! We're absolutely thrilled for the winner, and I'm sure the entire community will be sharing in this excitement over the next couple of days."
Meanwhile, the anticipation continues to build as tonight's EuroMillions draw is set to crown one player in Ireland as the 26th National Lottery millionaire of the year through a special 'Ireland Only Raffle.' In this unique raffle, ten players are awarded €5,000 each with their distinct raffle numbers.
The lucky recipient of tonight's draw will be bestowed with a staggering €1 million prize in addition to the initial €5,000 reward. As the clock ticks toward the 7:30pm cut-off time for ticket sales, eager EuroMillions players can obtain tickets in-store, via the National Lottery app, or online at www.lottery.ie.
