The winner has yet to make contact with the National Lottery.

One lucky punter in Meath has scooped the latest Lotto jackpot prize of nearly €9 million.

The National Lottery is now urging Lotto players in the country to check their tickets to see if they won Wednesday night’s jackpot worth €8,915,056.

The winning numbers for the draw were  3, 8, 20, 24, 28, 29 while the bonus number was 40.

Ireland’s 30th National Lottery millionaire of 2022, the winner of Wednesday’s Lotto has yet to make contact with the lottery operator.

They have been advised to sign the back of their ticket and keep it safe, as well as to make contact with the National Lottery prize claims team on 1800 666 222 or via email at [email protected].

Arrangements will then be made for the Meath winner to claim their prize.

The National Lottery has confirmed that the location of the store that sold the winning ticket will be revealed on Friday.

In total, over 85,000 players won prizes in the Lotto and Lotto Plus draws on Wednesday night.

Two players from Wexford and Monaghan matched five numbers and the bonus to split the €103,316 prize on offer.

This means they will each receive €51,658.

The Wexford player bought their ticket on Monday, 3 October in Centra, Ramsgrange, New Ross in Wexford.

Meanwhile, the Monaghan player purchased their ticket online or on the National Lottery app.
