Lotto players urged to check tickets as location of €78k prize winner revealed
An urgent appeal has been issued to Lotto players after one lucky punter scooped an 'incredible' five-figure prize in Wednesday night's draw.
Over 54,000 players won prizes in the midweek Lotto and Lotto Plus draws, including one player who matched five numbers and the bonus to leave them just one number short of scooping the life-changing €2 million jackpot.
While the player came agonisingly close to becoming Ireland's newest millionaire, they still have plenty of reason to celebrate as they still managed to bag the Match 5 + Bonus prize of €78,500.
The numbers for Wednesday night's Lotto were: 8, 19, 31, 32, 33, 43 and the bonus was 40.
The National Lottery has confirmed that the winner of the €78,500 prize was an online player in Dublin who purchased their winning ticket on Sunday using their own numbers.
A notification and an email has been sent to the Dublin online player and the top prize winner is advised to make contact with the National Lottery prize claims team on 1800 666 222 or email claims@lottery.ie and arrangements will be made for them to claim their prize in Lottery Headquarters.
Emma Monaghan, spokesperson for the National Lottery, said: 'Last night's Lotto draw brought fantastic news for one of our online players in Dublin, who scooped an incredible €78,500 prize!
"We're encouraging all our online players to check their accounts today to see if they're our latest big winner. It's always exciting to see players winning life-enhancing prizes, and we can't wait to hear how this one plans to celebrate!'
There were also 52 winners of Wednesday's Raffle Prize, with each player receiving €500; the winning raffle prize number was 8339.
