North Kerry woman ‘over the moon' following lotto win
Kerryman Asdee woman Mairead Doyle was without a dount the single happiest person in North Kerry this week as she celebrated winning a cool €30,570 in the National Lottery's main draw in which she matched five numbers and the bonus number back on January 28 of this year. The long-time postmistress, who spent an incredible 45 years serving her local community, made the trip to Lotto HQ in March to claim her prize. Mairead picked up her winning Quick Pick ticket at Cahill's SuperValu on Main Street in Ballybunion on the day of the draw and she has since revisited the store with her family to commemorate the moment and thank the local staff who sold her the lucky ticket. While she hasn't decided how to use the prize just yet, Mairead said that she is enjoying the thrill of dreaming about what she can use the money on – and says it feels great to have options. Speaking from Ballybunion, Mairead Doyle said: 'I'm over the moon with the win – as you can tell! I was a postmistress in Asdee for over 45 years, and everyday I'd be selling National Lottery tickets and scratch cards and of course chatting with customers about their dreams of what they would do if they ever won! I've seen so many happy faces over the years as people collect their prizes from the Post Office, so it's been lovely to experience the same joy myself!' Nearly 30 cent in every €1 spent on National Lottery games goes back to good causes in the areas of sport, youth, health, welfare, education, arts, heritage and the Irish language. In total, more than €6.5 Billion has been raised for Good Causes since the National Lottery was established 37 years ago. In 2024 alone, €239.3 million was raised for local good causes in communities across Ireland.

Cork €500,000 EuroMillions Plus winner yet to claim prize after buying ticket at Lidl
One lucky Cork lotto player is €500,000 better off this morning, after winning the top prize in the EuroMillions Plus draw. The draw, which took place yesterday, saw a player, who purchased their ticket in Youghal, scooping the top prize of €500,000, after matching the five numbers drawn at random last night at Lotto HQ in Dublin. Five was the magic number, featuring in three of the five numbers pulled out, which were 5, 25, 28, 35, and 49. Not that the winning player was superstitious around numbers, theirs was a Quick Pick ticket, purchased last Saturday (April 26) from Lidl on the Mill Road in the East Cork town. The National Lottery is now urging all players in the Cork area 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@ to arrange the collection of your prize. It's Cork's second top prize win this year in the EuroMillions Plus draw, with the €500,000 top prize from 21st March also won in the county, where the winning ticket was sold at Dunnes Stores in Ballyvolane Shopping Centre. 'This is the 14th EuroMillions Plus win so far in 2025,' said Darragh O'Dwyer from the National Lottery. 'In total over 42,000 players in Ireland won prizes in the EuroMillions and EuroMillions Plus draws.'
