Lottery jackpot winners contribute to the economy in Ireland. The biggest past winners have invested in the property market and started businesses and charities. In Ireland and Canada, there's an incentive program called the seller’s prize. It encourages retailers to sell as many lottery tickets as possible. Castlebar has produced three EuroMillions jackpots in recent years. The £17 million won at a convenience store in Castle bar in 2020 was the second biggest jack pot in that year. A retailer in Cork was awarded £15,000 from the National Lottery after selling a £5.3 million Lotto ticket.
