The winning ticket worth €1 million was sold on the day of the draw in Costcutter, Bealadangan, Co. Galway.

Owner of the store Noel Daniels said he was over the moon to get the call, as this isn’t his stores first win:
“I’m shocked and delighted that we’d had such a big second win in such a short period of time. Last November we sold a winning ticket worth over a million to another customer. I’m just delighted, I’ve a feeling its someone local as we’ve such loyal regular customers”, he said.
“I took over the business twelve months ago, so I must be bringing some element of luck myself! We’re all looking forward to the buzz this will create over the next couple of days and we wish the winner every best with their prize”, he added.
The National Lottery is encouraging all of its players to check their tickets carefully. There was no winner of the €77,782,771 jackpot on offer, which now rolls to an estimated €85 million next Tuesday 23rd of August.
