Heartbreak As One Player Just Missed Out On Top Lotto Jackpot
There was heartbreak for one Lotto player on Saturday after they narrowly missed out on the top €19million rolling jackpot.
The €19,060,800 remains up for grabs next Wednesday after the player in question matched five numbers and the bonus on Saturday.
The online punter from Cork needed to match just one more number to claim the big one, but it’s not all doom and gloom as they are still walking away with €990,753.
The winning numbers in last night’s Lotto draw were: 05, 06, 09, 15, 19, 25 and the bonus was 18.
Two players in Meath and Wicklow were the biggest winners of the night, though, after scooping the top prize of €1 million each in the Lotto Plus 1 draw.
The Meath store where the winning Quick Pick ticket was purchased will be revealed on Monday while the National Lottery has confirmed that the Wicklow player won their top prize amount after purchasing their Quick Pick ticket online on the day of the draw.
The winning numbers for Saturday’s Lotto Plus 1 draw were: 03, 14, 16, 28, 35, 43 and the bonus was 07.
The National Lottery has confirmed that a notification to the user’s online account and a separate email has now been sent to the Cork and Wicklow winners.
The Meath Lotto Plus 1 winner is advised to sign the back of their ticket to keep it safe. Each of the three biggest winners from last night’s draw should contact the prize claims team on 1800 666 222 or email claims@lottery.ie and arrangements will be made for them to claim their prizes.
