Forget Blue Monday, National Lottery HQ was buzzing with excitement last week as lucky winners across Ireland scooped up considerable prizes.
A cork resident, opting for a quick pick ticket purchased at SuperValu on strand Street in Kanturk, emerged victorious in Friday’s EuroMillions draw, claiming €55,998.
“I usually pick my own numbers. This time I decided to go with a quick pick. I am so glad I did!” they exclaimed,expressing disbelief at their good fortune. “I didn’t know I had won at all. I went back to the same shop to have my ticket checked,” they shared, adding, “It’s still yet to sink in.”
Adding to the wave of jubilation, a Dublin player struck gold on Saturday, December 28, matching five numbers and the bonus in the Lotto draw, taking home €40,341. Their winning ticket was purchased at Shiel’s Londis on Yellow Walls Road in Malahide.
A third lucky winner, hailing from County Clare, celebrated a win of €30,000 by claiming the top prize in the Cashword Doubler scratchcard.
With anticipation building, Tuesday’s EuroMillions draw promises a staggering estimated jackpot of €85 million. Could you be the next lucky winner?
