Here's what you should do immediately if you win the Lotto as punter scoops €11.2m jackpot

One lucky punter has woken up €11.2million richer after scooping last night's jackpot - but what should you do if you win?

The National Lottery is appealing for all players in Wicklow to check their tickets after the 15th largest prize ever was won in the area.

The winning numbers were 10, 13, 23, 24, 25, 44 and the bonus number was 12.

But if you've won the huge jackpot, the Lotto recommends you do the following immediately:

*Sign the back of your ticket

*Put it away in a very secure place

*Contact them to make arrangements on how to collect your prize.

A National Lottery spokesperson said it hopes to reveal the name of the winning store in the next couple of days.

The jackpot was close to being shared as another Laois player fell one number short, matching five numbers and the bonus ball.

This player has won €134,412 and they bought their ticket at Dunnes Stores at the Kyle Shopping Centre in Portlaoise.

The highest Lotto Jackpot in the history of the National Lottery was €18.9 million in Hegarty’s, Staplestown, Co Carlow, in June 2008.

Lotto players reported last night that the National Lottery app failed as they checked to see if they won the biggest jackpot in the past two years.

There was no winner of the Lotto Plus 1 top prize of €1million.

The winning numbers were 1, 14, 16, 31, 35, 45 and the bonus was 37.
