A Lotto punter is waking up Offaly happy today after they scooped over €148K in Saturday’s draw.
National Lottery bosses have revealed that the winning ticket was sold in Birr, Co Offaly.
A lucky midlands punter will be looking forward to the festive season after scooping an incredible €148, 259 in Saturday's draw.
They came agonisingly close to winning the €5.1m jackpot but were just one digit short.
The numbers drawn were: 4, 15, 20, 21, 34, 39 and bonus number 19.
The golden ticket was bought in Birr Post Office on Emmet Square.
And it seems Birr is on a winning streak as the latest win as it comes just a couple of weeks after a family syndicate from Birr won €250,000 on a National Lottery scratch card.
The National Lottery is today encouraging its players in Offaly to check their tickets to see if they have won this tidy sum.
More than 101,000 Lotto players all over Ireland won prizes in last night’s draw.
A National Lottery spokesperson said: “This is great news for a lucky player in Offaly to wake up to this morning and Birr is certainly having its rub of the green of late!
"We are asking all our players all across the country, especially those who play in Birr, Co. Offaly, to check their tickets carefully in store or by scanning the ticket’s barcode using the National Lottery App.
"If you are this lucky winner be sure to sign the back of the ticket and call the National Lottery claims team on 01 836 4444 and we will arrange for you to collect your prize.”
