The National Lottery has revealed that a Waterford player scooped Saturday's €250,000 Plus Two prize.
The county is on high alert this morning after last night's draw saw the quarter of a million prize go to a lucky ticketholder in the area.
The quick pick ticket was bought in the An Post office in Dungarvan, Co Waterford.
The winning numbers from the Lotto Plus draw were: 15, 17, 24, 30, 31, 42 and the bonus 46.
Meanwhile, two Dublin Lotto players came agonisingly close to hitting the €2 million jackpot last night, but each won €25,622 after matching five numbers and the bonus.
The two winning tickets were bought at Newsbees store in Belgard Heights, Tallaght, Dublin 24 and in CentraLusk, Dun Emer, Lusk in Co Dublin.
There was no overall winner of the jackpot and it will roll over to an estimated €2.5m in Wednesday's draw.
The National Lottery is now appealing to its players in Waterford and Dublin to check their tickets carefully to see if they have won any of these three substantial prizes.
A spokesperson advised: "In a week where the biggest Lotto jackpot in more than two years was won (€11.2 million) by a ticketholder who purchased their ticket in Enniskerry, Co Wicklow, it is fantastic to see more major wins for National Lottery participants across the country.
"We are advising all our Lotto players in Waterford and Dublin to check their Lotto tickets and if you do happen to be one of those three lucky ticketholders, be sure to sign the back of the ticket, keep these valuable pieces of paper safe and contact our prize claims team on 01 836 4444 and we will make arrangements for you to come to the National Lottery to get your prize."
