Lotto bosses urge punters to check tickets as two Dublin players scoop €3.8million each

Lotto chiefs are on the hunt for two new millionaires after Wednesday's mammoth draw.

The lucky punters scooped the jackpot of €7.77million - meaning they'll pocket a massive €3.89million each.

Both players bought their tickets in Dublin in what is the first Lotto jackpot win of 2020.

A spokesman said: "It is incredible luck for our Dublin players. Two people woke up this morning as brand new millionaires – sharing the €7,773,998 jackpot.

"We are now appealing for anybody who may have purchased their Lotto tickets in Dublin in the last number of days to check their tickets carefully to see if they have won one of these tickets worth €3,886,999 each.

"With a Lotto jackpot win of this amount, it is important that we inform the winning retailer and give the winning ticketholder the time and space they need to let this truly life-changing win to sink in."

The winning Lotto numbers are: 01, 03, 20, 22, 39, 44 and the bonus number was 16.

This is the first time the jackpot has been split since May 2017, when a €12.3millionprize was shared between two players in Donegal and Westmeath.
