National Lottery reveals locations of winning Lotto tickets as two players scoop life-changing prizes

The locations where two million-euro Lotto tickets were sold have been revealed by the National Lottery.

One player scooped €1 million while another won €996,216 in Saturday night's draw.

Lotto players in Galway are being urged to check their tickets carefully after one player became the biggest winner of the night after scooping the top prize in the Lotto Plus 1 draw.

The winning numbers for Saturday night’s Lotto Plus 1 draw were: 05, 08, 12, 26, 40, 41 and the bonus was 32.

There was no winner of the €19.06 million on offer in the record main draw that will roll over once again.

As no additional funds were added to the jackpot as it remains capped, the funds that would usually go to the jackpot were instead distributed to the next prize tier at which there was a winner.

In Saturday's draw, this was the Match 5+Bonus category and a player in Cork matched five numbers and the bonus to win an incredible €996,216.

The Rebel county winner purchased their winning ticket on the day of the draw at the XL Shop on Emmet Street in Fermoy, Co Cork.

Shop owner Mark Keohane was delighted to hear the good news from the weekend.

He said: “The news certainly came as a nice surprise. This is the biggest prize that we have ever sold and with the majority of our customers being local, it’s great that one of them is now almost €1 million richer after last night’s draw.

"We have a team of 7 here in the shop and we are all delighted for the winner – we wish them all the very best.”

The winning numbers for the main Lotto draw were: 09, 14, 22, 32, 38, 42 and the bonus was 05.

Over 184,000 Lotto players nationwide won prizes across the Saturday night Lotto and Lotto Plus draws. The two biggest winners from last night are advised to sign the back of their tickets and keep them safe.

The Cork and Galway winners should make contact with the prize claims team on 1800 666 222 or email claims@lottery.ie and arrangements will be made for them to claim their prizes.
