The location of the shop that sold a winning Lotto EuroMillions ticket worth just over €1 million has been revealed.
A Centra and Circle K store, located on Seamus Quirke Road, Westside in County Galway handed over the winning ticket to a lucky player, who has yet to step forward and claim the prize.
The winning ticket was worth €1,005,000 and was part of last Friday’s EuroMillions Ireland Only Raffle Draw, with Ireland’s newest millionaire purchasing their ticket on Wednesday, September 11.
The win marks the store's biggest Lotto win to date in its eight-year history.

Shop owner Simon Monaghan expressed his excitement upon hearing the news of the winning Lotto ticket: "We’re absolutely thrilled that one of our customers has become a millionaire!
"Our store is located on one of the busiest roads in Galway, connecting to Knocknacarra, one of the most populated areas in the city.
"We're really hoping it's one of the locals who has landed this incredible win.”
The win has brought a great sense of excitement to the store and the local community. Monaghan added: "This is a huge boost for our store and the entire area.
"It's the largest win we've had so far, and we couldn’t be happier to be part of such a life-changing moment for one of our customers."
Lotto bosses are urging players who may have visited the Centra and Circle K store in Westside to purchase their EuroMillions ticket for the Friday September 13 draw, to carefully check their tickets.
The winning raffle code from last night’s draw was: I-RCP-82103. The winner is advised to sign the back of their ticket and keep it safe.
