Lotto gambler becomes Ireland’s newest millionaire as winning numbers reveal

A lucky punter has won a life-changing amount in tonight’s Daily Million after taking home a whopping £1,000,000.

Countless amounts of money were won across the country in tonight’s draw at 9pm.

Lotto bosses have confirmed that the winning numbers were 15, 17, 27, 28, 29, 32 and the bonus was 11.

There was no winner of the Match 5 + Bonus.

One player won the Match 5 and earned €500, while five Match 4 + Bonus winners received €100 each.

The lucky €1 million winner is advised to sign the back of their ticket and keep it safe.

They should contact the National Lottery prize claims team on 1800 666 222 or email [email protected]. Arrangements will then be made for them to collect their prize from Lotto headquarters in Dublin.

Meanwhile, earlier today a punter was “excited” after thinking he had won €500 in the draw, only to discover he had cashed in a life-changing €1,000,500.

The Dublin player said they checked their ticket on Christmas Day but had no idea how much their ticket was worth until last week.

The winner scooped an eye-watering prize at the special Lotto Plus Raffle event held on Saturday, December 23, after purchasing a ticket at the Applegreen Roundtower petrol station in Lusk.

They were absolutely thrilled to go to Lotto’s headquarters this week to pick up a check worth €1,000,500.

They said: “I saw the message to contact the National Lottery when I checked the ticket at Christmas and saw I had the ticket number.

“I assumed I had won €500, which I was very happy with because I said to myself, that would be great to pay off a few bills in January.

“I decided to actually claim the prize last week, but when I did the prize didn’t go through the terminal, so I called Claims to see if there was a problem. They took the details and said they would get me back would call.

“After a few minutes I got a call and the person on the phone asked me to sit down and said I had won €1 million.”
