The National Lottery is encouraging people across Galway to check their EuroMillions tickets carefully after the winning ticket from last night’s ‘Ireland Only Raffle’ prize of over €1 million was sold in the West.

The name of the store that the winning ticket was sold in will be revealed tomorrow.
Speaking on the recent life-changing sum, a National Lottery spokesperson said: “It might be a damp and grey day out West but I’m sure there is a bright smile on the face of a lucky Galwegian who is Ireland’s newest millionaire and the third winner of €1 million as part of our ‘Fortnight of Fortunes’. We are asking everyone in Galway to check those tickets and see if their raffle code is I-JXR–67753.
"If that code matches the one on your EuroMillions ticket then we would ask you to sign the back of the ticket and contact our prize claims team on 1800 666 222 or email claims@lottery.ie and we will make arrangements for you to collect your prize. As with any prize win over €1 million, it is important that we inform the winning retailer and of course to give the winning ticketholder the time and space they need to let this amazing win to sink in.”
