The National Lottery disclosed this Tuesday evening that a winning Lotto ticket worth €1 million was purchased at a store in Oola.
The fortunate individual bought a Lotto Plus 1 Quick Pick ticket on the day of the draw, which took place on Saturday, March 9.
Tom O’Halloran, the shop owner, expressed his delight upon learning that one of his customers struck it rich over the weekend.
“It’s sure to be a day of excitement here in Oola with the big announcement. I think we are all eager for a bit of good news, to be honest, so this really is perfect timing,” said Mr. O’Halloran.
“We have no idea who the winner could even be, but it would be great if it were someone local. Imagine, a big tax-free win of €1 million!”
He continued, “You know what they say – it doesn’t cost a thing to dream, and for one of our customers, the dream of becoming a big Lotto winner has now become reality.”
“The winner will have lots of options for what they can do but the big thing for now is that we hope they check their ticket soon and really enjoy their big news.”
The National Lottery is urging players to carefully check their tickets from the March 9 draw as one player has a ticket worth a life-changing sum.
The Lotto Plus 1 winner is advised to sign the back of their ticket and keep it safe. Ireland’s newest millionaire should make contact with the National Lottery prize claims team on 1800 666 222 or email [email protected], and arrangements will be made for them to claim their life-altering prize.
