Lotto player bags €1m prize as shop which sold winning ticket confirmed
The National Lottery held a special draw on Saturday which promised to make one punter a Lotto millionaire.
The Lotto Plus Raffle typically sees between 60 and 120 winners of €500 in every draw but for tonight's draw, the National Lottery added a guaranteed to be won €1 million to the Lotto Plus Raffle prize fund.
Each of the tickets with the winning Lotto Plus Raffle number drawn in Saturday night's draw were entered into a once-off draw, where one ticket was selected to win an additional prize of €1m, as well as the usual €500 Raffle prize.
The National Lottery have confirmed that a lucky punter in Clerihan, Co Tipperary won the special Lotto Plus Raffle top-up prize of €1 million in Saturday's draw with the winning Raffle Number 9416.
Lotto bosses have revealed that the winning ticket was purchased in Elys Centra, Clerihan Village Centre, Co. Tipperary.
There were also 104 winners of the Raffle Prize, with each player receiving €500.
Another Lotto player came agonisingly close to winning a €1 million prize of their own as they missed out on the Lotto Plus 1 jackpot by just a single number.
The punter matched five numbers plus the bonus number in Saturday night's Lotto Plus 1 draw, meaning they were just one correct number away from winning the €1m top prize.
However the player still has reason to celebrate as they still bagged the Match 5 + Bonus prize worth a cool €5,000.
The numbers called in Saturday's Lotto Plus 1 draw were: 03, 09, 10, 12, 17, 45 and the bonus number is 36.
In total, over 109,000 players won prizes in the Lotto and Lotto Plus draws.
In Saturday's main Lotto draw, the numbers to look out for are: 01, 17, 24, 30, 33, 44 and the Bonus is 10.
While no one managed to bag the €10m up for grabs in this draw, 32 players did match five correct number to win €1,157 each.
Meanwhile, in Saturday's Lotto Plus 2 draw, where there was a €250,000 jackpot on offer, the numbers pulled were: 04, 20, 42, 43, 45, 46 and the bonus number was 14.
The jackpot in this draw also went unclaimed, although one person did match five correct numbers plus the bonus to win €2,500.
Players across Ireland are now being urged to check their tickets to see if they are among the 109,000 people here who won prizes in Saturday night's Lotto and Lotto Plus games.
