As snowy and icy conditions grip Ireland in a wintry embrace, the cold has not stopped the heat of excitement at National Lottery HQ today as players from Dublin, Mayo and Meath claimed prizes they had won recently in the main Lotto draw, the EuroMillions Plus draw and the All Cash Spectacular Scratch Card.
A syndicate from snowy Mayo claimed the Lotto Jackpot worth an astonishing €5,419,866 on Saturday, 28th of December’s Lotto draw. The syndicate purchased the winning ticket in Carey’s Newsagents in Belmullet, Co. Mayo.
Speaking on behalf of the syndicate, one member told Lottery.ie: “We were all together on the night of the draw having a Christmas get-together, when we discovered we had won. As you can imagine, there was great excitement on the night, and it has still yet to sink in.”
Asked about where the ticket has been kept while waiting to claim their prize, one member said: “The ticket has been kept in a magazine, in an envelope under a mattress – there was no way that ticket was going missing!”
