The bad news is it’s for a limited time only.

Topaz Athlone will celebrate selling a winning lottery ticket worth over €6.1 million last weekend by dropping fuel prices to just 61c per litre on Tuesday.

Motorists should be advised, however, that the offer will only last for 61 minutes from 1.06pm on Tuesday, May 9, which could prove convenient for people working in Athlone to top up on their lunch break.

The Athlone winning ticket was one of two Jackpot tickets, both worth €6,172,404 (the total jackpot was approximately €12.3m), announced by the National Lottery over the weekend; the second winning ticket was sold in Donegal.

The jackpot almost matched the biggest Lotto win so far this year of €12.85 million – won by a syndicate from Dublin on March 1 – with the money rolling over every week since then.

Since the win in March, an estimated €15 million has been raised for the Good Causes, with around one third of all National Lottery ticket sales going towards the fund.

Commenting on the offer, Joanne D’Arcy, Director of Retail Operations, Topaz, said: “We are delighted to have sold a winning ticket to a lucky customer at our Athlone service station, and are even more delighted to celebrate this win by dropping our fuel prices to just 61c per litre for a limited time on Tuesday, May 9 2017.

“A jackpot win like this is great for not only the staff at Topaz in Athlone, but for the wider community, and we wanted to join in this celebration by offering a discount to our customers in the Westmeath area.”
