Shops that sold winning Lotto tickets confirmed as two players scoop huge prizes
Two lucky Lotto players are celebrating an extraordinary windfall after they both won huge six-figure prizes in Wednesday night's draw.
Wednesday's main Lotto draw saw one punter come agonisingly close to claiming the mammoth jackpot prize of €3,976,241 after they matched five of the six numbers plus the bonus.
While the Lotto player narrowly missed out on becoming Ireland's newest millionaire, the lucky individual still has plenty of relason to celebrate as they still bagged the Match 5 + Bonus prize worth an impressive €154,441.
The winning numbers called in Wednesday's main Lotto draw were: 12, 13, 17, 20, 22, 31 and bonus 6.
The National Lottery has revealed that the winning Quick Pick ticket was purchased on the day of the draw from SuperValu on Newcastle Road in Lucan, Co. Dublin.
The Dublin player wasn't the only one celebrating a life-changing win on Wednesday night, as another lucky punter bagged the €250,000 jackpot up for grabs in the Lotto Plus 2 draw.
The winning numbers in last night's Lotto Plus 2 draw were: 24, 25, 35, 37, 39, 43 and the Bonus was 7.
Lotto bosses have confirmed that the winning Quick Pick ticket was purchased on the day of the draw from Daybreak on Trim Road in Bective, Navan, Co. Meath.
Lotto players in the Meath and Dublin areas are now being urged to check their tickets carefully and if you're holding the winning ticket, be sure to contact the National Lottery prize claims team on 1800 666 222 or email claims@lottery.ie to arrange the collection of your prize.
Emma Monaghan, National Lottery Spokesperson said: 'What an incredible night of wins for our players! We're urging everyone to check their tickets.
"If you're holding a winning ticket, sign the back of it, keep it safe, and contact our Prize Claims team right away!
"With no winner of the Lotto jackpot prize, players now have a chance to win an estimated €4.2 million in Saturday night's draw.'

‘Jack of all trades' group scoops final Prize in exclusive Irish EuroMillions draw
A 'jack of all trades' syndicate have been revealed as the final winners of the final bonus Ireland Only EuroMillions raffle. For the month of May, the National Lottery saw every EuroMillions draw have a special bonus draw for the Ireland-Only raffle, which would see one winner of the €5,000 prize win an extra €250,000. After several huge wins across the country, an 11 strong syndicate of tradesmen from the east of the country have been revealed as the winners of the €255,000, with the head of the syndicate Richard O'Brien purchasing the ticket at Applegreen in Newfoundwell Road, Greenbatter in Drogheda, Co Louth on the day of the draw. The 11-strong 'Jacks of All Trades' Syndicate from Co. Louth claimed a €255,000 prize in the EuroMillions Ireland-Only Raffle, celebrating their win at National Lottery HQ. Pic: McInnes Photography The syndicate, which is made of builders, plumbers, engineers and electricians, had a simple system: one group chat, one ticket each, three lines with the plus and everyone keeping an eye on every ticket — with one member of the syndicate beating Richard to the punch in checking that they had the winning raffle number of I-SDL-14299. Richard had initially thought that they won the more 'modest' €5,000 sum, but 'one of the lads said 'check again, we've won a lot more than that! There's a special raffle on.' I thought he was pulling my leg… until I looked it up. That's when I saw we won an extra €250,000! 'The phone was hopping with calls and texts for the rest of the night,' Richard added. 'It was madness but great excitement!' The syndicate were the last EuroMillions players this month to win the massive €255,000 bonus in the Ireland-Only raffle. Pic: MacInnes Photography Richard confirmed the huge win with the National Lottery the next day, with the team coming from the eastern corners of the country to Lotto HQ to sign the back of their ticket and celebrate their massive win. As for what they plan on doing, the lads have debated how to spend their massive windfall — with one set to buy a new couch for his partner, while another is helping a family member save for a house. The group chat that also won the huge windfall are now also debating where to head on holiday, with sun destination chatter heating up. The lads' plans for the money include buying a couch for a partner, as well as helping a relative save for a house. Pic: MacInnes Photography The Ireland-Only raffle win comes as a massive three EuroMillions players won huge sums after matching five numbers in Clare, Kerry and Cavan.

'Jacks of all trades' syndicate celebrate life-changing EuroMillions win
A Lotto syndicate made up of a crew of tradesmen have hammered home their biggest job yet after bagging a life-changing six-figure sum in a recent EuroMillions draw. The 11-strong crew of tradesmen travelled from corners of the east of the country to Lotto HQ in Dublin on Wednesday to collect their €255,000 prize, which they won in the special EuroMillions Ireland Only Raffle being run throughout the month of May. The syndicate, made up of builders, plumbers, electricians, and engineers, were one of 10 winners of the Ireland Only Raffle in the EuroMillions draw on May 27. And while that prize is usually worth €5,000, the National Lottery added an additional prize of €250,000 for one winner of the Ireland-Only Raffle for all nine EuroMillions draws during the month of May. The group's winning Quick Pick ticket was purchased by head of the syndicate, Richard O'Brien, at Applegreen, on Newfoundwell Road in Greenbatter, Drogheda, Co Louth, on the day of the draw. That ticket held the all-important raffle number: I-SDL-14299. The syndicate has been playing together for five years and the group has stuck to a simple system: one group chat, one EuroMillions ticket each, three lines with the Plus, and everyone keeping an eye on every ticket. Shortly after the draw on May 27, one eagle-eyed member beat Richard to checking the tickets and sent a simple message to the group saying: "This is a winner!" Richard initially thought they'd bagged a modest €5,000. "Then one of the lads said, 'Check again, we've won a lot more than that. There's a special raffle on.' I thought he was pulling my leg… until I looked it up. That's when I saw we'd won an extra €250,000!" said Richard. "The phone was hopping with calls and texts for the rest of the night. It was madness but great excitement!" he added. The next morning, Richard contacted the National Lottery Claims team to confirm the win. That evening, the group met up to sign the back of the winning ticket and celebrated their win together. Since then, the 11-strong crew have been happily debating how to spend their handsome windfall. One of the syndicate members plans on buying a new couch for his partner, another is helping a family member save for a house, and the group chat is now full of holiday plans and chatter on sun destination.
