Last night's €6.8m winning Lotto ticket was sold in Kilkenny, National Lottery bosses have said.
The organisation is appealing to players to check their tickets after a lucky punter scooped Saturday night's jackpot of €6,834,410.
The winning Lotto numbers are: 13, 16, 18, 25, 38, 41 and the bonus number was 1.
This latest Lotto win is the ninth jackpot win this year, with over €62 million claimed in jackpot prizes alone.
The Kilkenny player will in fact be the third millionaire created in Ireland this week, after two separate EuroMillions Ireland Only Raffle wins on Tuesday and Friday.
Over €125 million has been won in prizes in Lotto games in 2019.
Since 1988, there have been 25 Lotto jackpot winners in Co Kilkenny, who have shared €36.1 million in jackpot prizes between them.
A National Lottery spokesperson said the organisation hopes to reveal the name of the winning store this Monday.
They added: "Is there any better time of the year to become a multi-millionaire, then just as the festive period is closing in?
"We are now appealing for anybody who may have purchased their Lotto ticket in Kilkenny in the last number of days to check their tickets carefully and make contact with us as soon as possible.
"With a Lotto jackpot win of this amount, 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-changing win to sink in."
This jackpot was close to being shared as another Lotto player from Co Westmeath fell just one number short, matching five numbers and the bonus ball.
This lucky Lotto player will win a cool €99,906. The ticket was sold at the Grove Service Station in Baylough, Athlone.
A National Lottery spokesperson said: "If you are the winner of one of these incredible prizes, be sure to sign the back of your ticket, keep it safe and contact the National Lottery prize claims team as soon as you can on 01 836 4444 and we will make arrangements for you to come to the Winner’s Room and collect your prize in time for Christmas."
