Joy for Co Wicklow punter as National Lottery reveals online player scoops whopping €331,500
$5,000 Welcome Bonus
ONE lucky Lotto player won big in last night's draw after scooping a tasty €331,563.
The Wicklow punter - who bought their ticket online - matched five numbers and the bonus.
However, it may be a bittersweet victory as the player was just one number away from winning the entire €3.2 million jackpot.
The National Lottery has confirmed that a notification to the user’s online account and a separate email has now been sent to the lucky Wicklow ticket holder who has been encouraged to get in touch to begin the process of claiming their prize.
The Lotto numbers for last night’s draw were: 10, 14, 33, 40, 42, 45 and the bonus was: 08.
Last night’s win of €331,563 marks the second big win in Co Wicklow in the space of two days after another player in Rathdrum Village scooped a €96,928 prize after narrowly missing out on Friday night’s EuroMillions jackpot worth over €29 million.
Meanwhile, there was no winner of Saturday night’s Lotto jackpot of €3,253,367 which means that Wednesday’s jackpot prize will roll towards €3.5 million (est).
A National Lottery spokesperson said: “It was a big night for one lucky online player from Wicklow in last night’s Lotto draw who is over €330,000 richer this morning.
"Our players in Wicklow certainly had the rub of the green this weekend with another player from Rathdrum coming so close to the EuroMillions jackpot on Friday night.
"If you are one of these big winners from the weekend’s draws, we ask that you contact our prize claims team on 1800 666 222 or email claims@lottery.ie and we will make arrangements for you to claim your prize.”
