The winner of a massive €14.6million Lotto jackpot is yet to claim their prize.

The National Lottery has revealed that the winning ticket for the incredible €14.6 million Lotto jackpot was bought online in Dublin.

Players of this week's lotto have been urged to check their tickets as the winner is yet to reveal themselves to claim the prize.

The winner has three months to claim their prize, which is the seventh biggest win ever in Ireland.

The winning numbers drawn for the total jackpot of €14,674,966 were 3, 8, 10, 24, 32, 41 and the bonus number was 30.

This is the first jackpot win of 2024 and the first win since October, when two Dubliners shared a €7.7m prize.

In an update on Sunday afternoon, the National Lottery revealed that the winning ticket was bought online in Dublin.

A spokesperson from the National Lottery said: "Over the past week, we have seen our games turn three of our players into National Lottery millionaires and so far we have heard from just one of those big winners.

"Last Tuesday’s Daily Million draw saw a Kerry player scoop €1 million. The Kingdom winner has since been in touch but we are yet to hear from our weekend winners in Dublin and Kildare.

"Our advice to the winners is to contact our prize claims team as soon as possible so that we can make arrangements for their visit to the Winners Room in Lotto HQ.

"While the Dublin player won the €14.67 million Lotto jackpot on Saturday night after purchasing their ticket online, the Kildare Daily Million player won their €1 million after purchasing their ticket in a store in Naas. We are looking forward to announcing the store location tomorrow where we are sure there will be great excitement."

"It’s sure to be a weekend of celebrations for an online player in Dublin who has become the first Lotto jackpot winner of 2024," said a National Lottery spokesperson.

"Not only that but the €14.67 million winner has also taken a list of titles with their massive win including highest online Lotto jackpot winner and 7th highest jackpot winner since the game began. It is undoubtedly life-changing and of course shocking for the winner who will see the winning amount on their ticket when they log into their National Lottery account.

"As Ireland’s newest multi-millionaire, we are advising the winner to make contact with our prize claims team as soon as possible and we will make arrangements for them to visit the Winners Room to collect their cheque."

The massive jackpot is the highest amount that has been seen in Lotto for over two years since the €19.06 million Will Be Won draw which took place in January 2022.
