One lucky punter scooped a massive €12m top prize in Wednesday evening's Lotto draw - and bosses have now confirmed the ticket was sold in Kilkenny.
The winning numbers in Wednesday's draw were 4, 14, 20, 23, 27, 37 and the bonus was 39.
There was one winner of the €12,740,043 top prize - and if you're Noreside, you should be checking those tickets, because someone is a whole lot richer this morning.
Lotto players across Kilkenny have been put on high alert this morning after officials from the National Lottery confirmed the winning Quick Pick ticket was bought in a Kilkenny store.
The ticket holder who has yet to make contact with the National Lottery to claim their prize has officially become the 12th largest Lotto jackpot winner in the history of the game.
We should know the winning store any time now - but it wasn't just the Kilkenny native that won big.
Ticket holders in Co. Laois are also being asked to check their tickets after the Lotto Plus 2 top prize of €250,000 was won with a Quick Pick ticket purchased at the Corrib Oil service station in Fairgreen in Portlaoise on the day of the draw/
Meanwhile, two further players in Cavan and Dublin also came agonisingly close to sharing the €12.7 million jackpot on offer after they won the Match 5 + Bonus prize which was worth €416,263.
The winners will each take home a prize of €208,132.
The winning Cavan Quick Pick ticket was sold at Cullies Mace services station on the Ballyhayes Road in Cavan Town while the other ticket in Dublin was sold at the Circle K store/Sundrive service station on Lower Kimmage Road in Dublin 6 W.
A National Lottery spokesperson said it will reveal the name of the winning jackpot store in Kilkenny in the coming days and said: “As always with multi-million jackpot wins, 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 truly life-altering €12.7 million win sink in.
"With so many big winners in Wednesday night’s Lotto draw, we are asking everyone who bought a ticket for the draw to check their tickets carefully."
The spokesperson added: “We advise the winner of any of these prizes to try their best to remain calm and be sure to sign the back of the ticket and keep it in a safe place.
"The winners can contact the National Lottery prize claims team on 1800 666 222 or email claims@lottery.ie and we will make arrangements for you to collect your prize!"
