Lotto results Ireland: Search on for lucky punter who won whopping €1m jackpot
Just hours after an Irish punter bagged the top prize of €500,000 in Friday night's EuroMillions Plus draw, another fortunate Lotto player has landed an even larger windfall in Saturday's Daily Million draw.
The search is now on for the lucky ticket holder, who stands to claim a staggering €1 million after matching all six numbers in Saturday's draw. The winning numbers were 2, 9, 12, 16, 28 and 29 with the bonus number being 5. Over 900 players also pocketed prizes ranging from €3 to €500, reports the Irish Mirror.
The fortunate winner now has 90 days to collect their prize from Lotto bosses, after which the winnings will be used to promote the National Lottery, thereby boosting funds raised for Good Causes. If you're the one holding the winning ticket, make sure to get in touch with the National Lottery prize claims team on 1800 666 222 or email claims@lottery. ie to organise collection of your prize.
Saturday's Daily Million victory means that three people have won a total of €2 million from the National Lottery within five days, including two back-to-back winners of the top prize of €500,000 in the EuroMillions Plus draws on Tuesday and Friday night. Both winning tickets, the National Lottery disclosed, were purchased in Dublin.
And things could look even rosier for Irish punters next week, with a €250 million jackpot - the maximum possible - rolling over to next Tuesday's EuroMillions draw after it remained unclaimed on Friday night.
Under the rules of EuroMillions community games, the jackpot cannot exceed €250 million, a cap that has been in place for the last three draws. However, this jackpot can only remain at this limit for five consecutive draws.
If no one wins the jackpot by the fifth draw, the full amount - the €250 Million and any additional Jackpot value - is transferred to the next prize tier with a winner or winners, ensuring it must be won.
This scenario could potentially occur if there are no jackpot winners in the draws next Tuesday (June 17) and next Friday (June 20), so stay alert.
The National Lottery has reminded participants that tickets for Tuesday night's draw can be bought in-store, via the National Lottery app or at http://www.lottery.ie before the 7.30pm cut-off time.

Government agrees multi-million-euro contract with French firm for sonar system
THE IRISH GOVERNMENT has announced the signing of a multi-million-euro contract with a French firm for the provision of towed sonar capability. Thales DMS France — which specialises in defence, aeronautics and security technology — will produce the sonar, which will be used for subsea monitoring and surveillance. It will be used on Irish naval vessels to monitor activities in the Irish Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) and, in particular, in the vicinity of subsea communication cables or gas pipelines. Commenting on the award of the contract, Tánaiste Simon Harris said the technology would help counter maritime threats. "This significant investment in sonar capability will provide the Naval Service with a state-of-the-art sonar system, which will enable them to build a picture of our subsea, thus contributing to the important task of protecting our critical underwater infrastructure," he said. "This is one of many strands of work being progressed to address the threats in our maritime domain. "It will serve as an important first step in creating a 'pattern of life' in the subsea domain, with future projects further enhancing this capability. "This investment will contribute to the Programme for Government commitment to focus on the protection of critical undersea." 'Welcome advancement' It is anticipated that the new capability will be available to the Naval Service in 2027. While the Irish Defence Forces regularly monitor activity on Irish seas, the new technology will enhance awareness below the surface. An enhanced maritime picture will also be important for detecting illegal activities such as illegal fishing, drug trafficking, terrorism and espionage. Lieutenant General Rossa Mulcahy, Chief of Staff of the Defence Forces, welcomed the announcement. "This advancement in capabilities of the Naval Service, through the procurement of towed array sonar, will enable our ships at sea to monitor the subsurface space within our maritime area," he said. "This capability will greatly enhance the Defence Forces' situational awareness across domains and is a welcome advancement in the continued development and transformation of the Óglaigh na hÉireann." Thanes, which is headquartered in Paris, recently announced plans to open a third manufacturing facility in Northern Ireland. See More: Simon Harris, Thales
