Entire county on alert as Ireland Lotto bosses confirm €1m jackpot winner is still out there

Lotto bosses are urging players in Roscommon to check their tickets carefully because one lucky player is sitting on a €1 million prize that's still to be claimed.

Wednesday's winning Daily Million top prize was purchased at a family-run service station store in Roscommon town.

The winning Quick Pick ticket was sold on Wednesday at Casey’s Service Station on the Athlone Road in Roscommon.

The winning ticket holder is advised to sign the back of their ticket and keep it in a safe place.

Speaking about the recent draw, Jim McCausland, Site Manager for Casey’s Service Station said: “We’re absolutely blown away with the news that one of our customers came into our store on Wednesday and essentially left as a millionaire, it’s just brilliant. There’s a huge buzz around Roscommon Town and of course in the service station this morning and we have already had a lot of people in to check their tickets to see if they are Roscommon’s latest millionaire.”

The lucky winner is being urged to contact the prize claims team on 1800 666 222 or claims@lottery.ie and arrangements will be made for them to collect their prize.

Opened by the popular Casey family in Roscommon in 1978, the independent service station has grown into a massively successful business in the area with 24/7 opening hours with eight separate brands working under one roof, including a Circle K forecourt.

“The store is incredibly popular locally but we also have a lot of passing trade because we are on a high commuter route. We’ll be celebrating in the store today but we’ll also be reminding all of our customers to get their tickets checked to see if they are the lucky winner. We are a little biased and we hope that the winner is a local but whoever has that golden ticket, we wish them every luck in the world with their winnings,” he added.
