The two shops which both sold winning €500,000 EuroMillions tickets have been announced.
The Dublin prize was bagged at the Spar store at St Agnes Park, Crumlin, with the Louth winner taking home their feat from McCreesh’s on Avenue Road in Dundalk.
Speaking on selling his store’s first ever major National Lottery prize winning ticket, Des McCreesh, owner of McCreesh’s said: “I’m absolutely delighted to get the news that we sold a winning EuroMillions Plus prize.
"It’s even better news for whoever the winner is so we’ve been spreading the word in the store this morning, encouraging all our customers to check their tickets, there is a nice bit of excitement about the area.
"It’s actually the first time we’ve sold a major National Lottery prize winning ticket in the 18 years we’ve been in business. Best of luck to the winner, whoever he or she is!”
The Lotto is now encouraging all its players in Dublin and Louth to check their tickets.
A spokesperson said: “As Ireland moves to the next phase of reopening from the COVID 19 restrictions it is a nice time to win €500,000.
"If you are one of those two lucky ticketholders, be sure to sign the back of the ticket and please contact our prize claims team on 1800 666 222 or email claims@lottery.ie and we will make arrangements to get your prize.”
Another Dublin punter also managed to take home a cool €13,455 after matching five numbers online.
There was no winner of the €29million jackpot, which now rolls to an estimated €40million for the next draw on Tuesday.
