The hunt is on for the country's newest millionaire after the shop that sold Thursday's winning €1million ticket was revealed.
The Daily Million slip was bought on the day of the draw in Tesco, just off the N21, in Newcastlewest, Co Limerick.
Lotto bosses are urging players to check their tickets as the winner has yet to come forward.
A spokesperson said: "The winning ticket holder is advised to sign the back of their ticket and keep it in a safe place.
“They should contact the prize claims team on 1800 666 222 or claims@lottery.ie and arrangements will be made for them to claim their prize."
Deputy Manager of the store Shane Higgins said: “This €1 million prize won by one of our customers is truly life changing.
"Everybody in the store here in Newcastle West is delighted to have sold the winning ticket, knowing that it could be one of our loyal customers.
"There’s a great atmosphere in store with customers checking their tickets – it’s all anyone is talking about locally. Whoever the winner is, we wish them every success with their massive win.”
Meanwhile, tonight’s Lotto draw will see the jackpot remain capped at the staggering amount of €19,060,800 for a record-breaking ninth time.
Ahead of tonight’s highly anticipated draw, the National Lottery has appealed to players dreaming of becoming Ireland’s largest ever Lotto jackpot winner to purchase their tickets early ahead of the Saturday night draw.
Lotto tickets can be purchased in-store, through the National Lottery app or at www.lottery.ie ahead of the 7.45pm cut-off time for sales this evening.
