Four Mayo players within one number of winning €19m jackpot
$5,000 Welcome Bonus
THE National Lottery have today revealed the selling locations where each of the 35 tickets that matched 5 numbers in Wednesday night’s lotto draw were purchased. The winning ticket holders from 13 counties - including four from Mayo - can claim €22,872 each.
The 35 winners came incredibly close to becoming the largest lotto jackpot winner ever seen in Ireland - coming to within just one number of the €19,060,800 jackpot on offer in the midweek draw.
As Wednesday night’s jackpot was capped, this meant the funds that would usually be added to the jackpot were instead distributed to the next prize tier at which there was a winner. Since there was no winner of the Match 5 + Bonus category, the additional funds were added to the next tier with a winner, which was the Match 5 prize tier.
The four Mayo tickets were sold at Centra in Ballindine, Centra in Claremorris, SuperValu in Claremorris, and Spar in Barnatra.
The National Lottery are continuing to appeal to players to check their tickets carefully and advising the 35 winners to sign the back of their tickets and keep them safe.
All the lucky winners, who purchased their tickets in-store and online, 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.
