Wouldn't you just love to be either one of these two people.
It's a big pay day at Lotto HQ as two lucky Lotto players won two jackpots in last night’s draw.
One person won a mega jackpot of €4,770,304 while the other won the €250,000 top prize on the lotto Plus 2 draw.
The winning jackpot Quick Pick ticket was sold last Friday (24th August) at the Londis Store in Summerhill in Co. Meath.
Owner of the winning Londis shop, Garret Jordan said:
“The whole village is absolutely gripped by the win, there is great excitement and everyone is praying that the winner is local. We have been absolutely inundated with customers this morning who are checking their tickets in the hope that they’ve scooped the jackpot prize. There is a real party atmosphere so we’ll be enjoying the celebrations for the next few days,” he said.
The winning Lotto numbers which are worth over €4.7 million to one player were: 26, 27, 35, 40, 41, 42 and the Bonus 07
Meanwhile, National Lottery officials have urged players throughout the country to check their online accounts to see if they if they are the winning ticket holder for last night’s Lotto Plus 2 top prize of €250,000.
The winning numbers for the Lotto Plus 2 draw were 08, 19, 30, 33, 36, 47 and the bonus 31.
Also today, the National Lottery has launched exciting new changes to its popular Lotto Plus game that will see in excess of 50% more winners and the creation of more millionaires.
The game enhancements mean the top prize in Lotto Plus 1 will double from €500,000 to €1 million – and the chance of winning a prize across Lotto with Lotto Plus will jump from 1 in 17 to 1 in 10. There will be three new ways to win.
The game changes are expected to create an average of 16 millionaires a year across Lotto with Lotto Plus.
Under the game enhancements there will be no change in the cost of playing the main Lotto game. But to facilitate the significant prize increases the price of a Lotto Plus line will rise by 50 cent to one Euro.
