Another win for Dublin! Two National Lottery wins in the space of two days
Wednesday’s Lotto jackpot set to roll to €10 million (est)
The National Lottery are urging Lotto players in the seaside village of Howth to check their tickets carefully today after a North County Dublin player came within just one number of the life-changing €9,316,658 jackpot on offer in last night’s draw. The Dublin winner matched five numbers and the bonus to win €111,461 in the Saturday night draw.
The winning Quick Pick ticket was purchased on Friday 6th August in the Centra shop on the Main Street in Howth, Co. Dublin.
The winning numbers for last night’s (Saturday 7th August) Lotto draw were: 14, 15, 29, 34, 41, 46 and the bonus was 09.
The winning ticket holder is advised to sign the back of their ticket and to get in touch 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 prize.
Last night’s Lotto win marked the second National Lottery win for Dublin players in the space of two days. On Friday night, a EuroMillions player in Crumlin scooped the top prize of €500,000 in the EuroMillions Plus draw after purchasing their winning Quick Pick ticket in the Spar shop on the Clogher Road in Crumlin, Dublin 12.
As there was no winner of last night’s astonishing €9,316,658 jackpot, Wednesday night’s Lotto jackpot is now set to roll to an estimated €10 million.
A National Lottery spokesperson said: “It’s certainly been a lucky weekend for National Lottery players in Dublin! Last night, we saw a Lotto player in Howth come close to the huge €9,316,658 jackpot after matching five numbers and the bonus to win €111,461. That wasn’t the only National Lottery win in Dublin this weekend – the Saturday night windfall followed a EuroMillions Plus top prize win of €500,000 by a player in Crumlin the previous night. We are advising the two biggest National Lottery winners from the past two days to sign the back of their tickets and to contact our prize claims team on 1800 666 222 or email claims@lottery.ie and arrangements will be made for them to claim their prizes.”
Nearly 30 cent in every €1 spent on all National Lottery games goes back to Good Causes in the areas of sport, youth, health, welfare, education, arts, heritage, and the Irish Language. Since the National Lottery was established 34 years ago, €6 billion has been raised for Good Causes. In 2020 alone, €254 million was raised for local Good Causes in communities across Ireland.
