Nice for some.
Ireland has a new Lotto millionaire this morning after someone in Donegal won Saturday night’s Lotto jackpot worth €2,482,715.
The National Lottery is now encouraging all its Lotto players in Donegal to check their tickets to see they are the winner.
It’s also the second time in a week the Lotto jackpot prize has been won, after a prize worth €7.3 million was won in Galway.
The winning Lotto numbers (Saturday 23 August) are: 04, 05, 12, 15, 16, 31 and the Bonus number is: 23.
“With a jackpot win of this magnitude, it is important that we inform the winning retailer and of course to give the winning ticketholder the time and space they need to let this €2.4 million win sink in,” a National Lottery spokesperson said.
“Last night’s draw produced more than 101,000 winners across the country so we’re asking everyone who bought a ticket for last night’s Lotto draws to check those tickets especially if you played in Co. Donegal.
“We advise the winner of this prize to try their best to remain calm and be sure to sign the back of the ticket and keep it in a safe place. The winner can contact the National Lottery prize claims team on 1800 666 222 or email [email protected] and we will make arrangements for you to collect your prize.”
