Two Lucky Lotto Punters Win Almost €600,000 As Jackpot Rolls On
It’s time to check your tickets as two lucky Lotto punters have won almost €600,000 each as the jackpot rolls on.
The two players from Mayo and Dublin just missed out on winning the eye-watering €19,060,800 jackpot with five numbers and a bonus.
Although the full monty is just out of reach, the two will now split a tidy €1,191,042 between each other.
The winning numbers for Saturday night’s draw were 05, 10, 12, 23, 28, 47 and the bonus was 16.
The winner in Dublin bought their ticket online on the day of the draw, the Mayo punter bought theirs at Turlough Stores in Turlough, Castlebar, Co Mayo on Friday.
‘The Mayo winner is advised to sign the back of their ticket and to keep it in a safe place while a notification to the user’s online account and a separate email has now been sent to the lucky Dublin ticket holder,’ a Lotto spokeswoman said.
‘The two Match 5 + Bonus winners from last night’s draw, who both now have tickets worth €595,521 each, should make contact with the National Lottery prize claims team on 1800 666 222 or email claims@lottery.ie and arrangements will be made for them to claim their prizes.’
The record-breaking €19,060,800 will roll on once again for the eighth time.
The highest-ever prize has been now capped with no more additional money allowed to be added to it.
Instead, the funds that would normally go to the top prize are distributed to the next lower prize tier.
