Something in the water in Donegal?
EuroMillions players in Ballyshannon in south Donegal have this morning been asked to check their tickets after Friday night’s draw produced a winner of €119,361.
The lucky player managed to match five numbers and one lucky star number, so was agonisingly just one lucky star short of winning the incredible €142 million EuroMillions jackpot.
The winning Quick Pick ticket was sold at Pearse O’Neill’s store in Bridge End in Ballyshannon on Thursday, 27 August.
The winning EuroMillions Plus numbers are: 07, 12, 16, 17, 31 and the Lucky Stars were 07 & 09.
It is the third significant lotto prize won in the county in the last seven days.
Last Saturday’s €2.4 million Lotto jackpot was sold at Harris’ service station in Convoy in east Donegal while on Tuesday another EuroMillions Plus top prize of €500,000 was sold at Gallagher’s Foodstore in the Gaeltacht village of Derrybeg in Gweedore.
