Lotto bosses reveal exact location of lucky tickets after players scoop huge sum

TWO lucky Lotto punters have been urged to check their tickets after scooping an impressive €24,224 each in last night’s draw.

The Dublin and Galway players both matched five numbers and the bonus to share a prize fund worth €48,448.

The lucky digits in the draw were: 23, 25, 28, 32, 33, 44 and the bonus was 29.

The Dublin player scooped their €24,224 amount after purchasing their winning Quick Pick ticket on Friday 6th October at the Bus Stop Kiosk in the Nutgrove Shopping Centre in Dublin 14.

And the Galway player won their share of the Match 5 + Bonus prize after purchasing their winning Quick Pick ticket on the day of the draw at Desmond Salmon on Patrick Street in Portumna. 

A National Lottery spokesperson said: “It’s been a big week for National Lottery players across the Lotto and EuroMillions games.

“Saturday night’s win for a player in Dublin 14 marks the third big win for a player in the Capital in the space of a week.

“Tuesday night’s EuroMillions Plus draw saw an online Dublin player scoop the top prize of €500,000 while a Lotto player who purchased their ticket for Wednesday’s draw at the Spar store at 13 South Circular Road in Dublin 8 shared the midweek jackpot to win a staggering €3.8 million.

“Meanwhile, Saturday’s Galway win is the second win for West of Ireland players in the space of two days after Friday night’s EuroMillions Plus draw saw an online Galway player scoop the €500,000 top prize.”

They added: “We are encouraging all of our Lotto players in Dublin and Galway to check their tickets carefully from Saturday night’s draw as two players now have tickets worth €24,224 each.

“Both players should sign the back of their tickets and make contact with our prize claims team.”

Both winners are advised to sign the back of their tickets, which are now worth €24,224 each, and the keep them safe.

While there was no winner of the €2 million Lotto jackpot on offer in last night’s draw, over 85,000 players nationwide won prizes across the Lotto and Lotto Plus games.

This included winners at the Match 3 prize tier who received an additional amount on top of the usual prize for the category due to a promotion in Saturday night’s draw.

The National Lottery added €100,000 to that particular prize tier for the 7th October draw which was divided amongst all winners at that category.

This resulted in 13,983 players winning €18 each at the Match 3 prize tier. 

Wednesday’s Lotto jackpot is now set to roll towards an estimated €2.5 million.
