A lucky Kildare punter is celebrating this morning after scooping a €1million Lotto prize.
The National Lottery is appealing for all players in the county to check their tickets after someone scooped the top prize in the Plus 1 draw on Saturday.
The store which sold the golden Quick Pick ticket will be announced in the coming days.
The winning numbers were 02, 06, 23, 25, 35, 39 and the bonus was 01.
The news comes just days after Wednesday's €12.7million jackpot was won in Kilkenny.
Elsewhere, players in Cork are being urged to check their tickets too after a punter cleaned up €55,772. They bought their Quick Pick ticket in the Post Office on the Main Street in Macroom on Friday.
The winner was agonisingly close to claiming the top prize of €2million, missing out by just one number.
The winning numbers were 18, 21, 27, 29, 34, 47 and the bonus 46.
A Lotto spokesman said: “Last night’s Lotto Plus 1 top prize winner in Co. Kildare has officially become the newest Lotto millionaire – and the second Lotto millionaire this week.
"We encourage all of our players in Co. Kildare to check their tickets carefully today as one person’s ticket is worth €1,000,000.
"Following the €12.7 million jackpot win by a Kilkenny player on Wednesday and the €250,000 top prize Lotto Plus 2 win by a Co. Laois ticket holder on the same night, it really has been a big week for Lotto players all over the country!”
