Lotto bosses have revealed where two lucky Irish players picked up their golden tickets that bagged them a combined win of €1million.
A Co Cork player and a Co Louth player are both in the money after matching all five numbers to win €500K each in last night's Euromillions Plus draw.
The winning numbers for last night’s draw were: 22, 24, 31, 35 and 44.
The Rebel County punter bought their ticket in family-owned Dano’s SuperValu Supermarket, Bellevue in Mallow while the Wee County punter picked up theirs in Dunnes Stores in the Scotch Hall Shopping Centre in Drogheda.
The owner of Dano’s SuperValu, Paul O'Mahony said: “We’re thrilled to have sold a winning ticket – it’s the first major National Lottery prize we’ve ever sold so we’re delighted.
"We are in business here for more than 50 years – I inherited the business from my own father Dano – so it’s great to get our first major winner.
"About 90% of our customers are from the Mallow area so hopefully the winner is a local.
"I’d like to wish the winner the very best of luck, whoever they are!”
Meanwhile, Drogheda is fast becoming one of the luckiest Lottery towns in Ireland after the latest win.
Yesterday a family syndicate, who bought their ticket in Drogheda claimed a cheque for €6,197,310 after they won the Lotto jackpot last month.
A National Lottery spokesperson appealed for EuroMillions players in both counties to check their tickets and said: “What a week of winners we are having at the National Lottery.
"Only yesterday we gave away more than €11.2 million in prizes to three winners and now we have two more winners who get €500,000 each.
"We are encouraging all our EuroMillions players in Louth and Cork to check their tickets carefully this morning to see if you are half a million euro better off.”
“If you are one of the winners we advise you to sign the back of the ticket, put it in a safe place and contact our prize claims team on 01 836 4444, and we will make arrangements for you to come to the National Lottery to collect your prize”.
