Manager of Flemings Supervalu, Robbie Herron said: “We’re expecting a busy morning as we have been spreading the great news to all of our customers who have been in the store early this morning. As we are beside the church we get heavy footfall on Sunday mornings so I think the win will be the talk of the town. As for the identity of the winner, sure it could be anyone. We have so many locals who are regular Lotto players but we also get a lot of passing trade, being in the middle of the town. Fingers crossed it is a local but congratulations and best of luck to whoever it is!
The National Lottery is now encouraging all of its players in Monaghan to check their tickets carefully.
A spokesperson said: “If you discover that you are in possession of this valuable piece of paper, be sure to sign the back of the ticket and contact our prize claims team on 01 836 4444 and we will make arrangements for you to come to the National Lottery Winner’s Room to get your prize.”
Whoever it is that won, we’re delighted for you.
Any chance of a tenner?
