Cashing in on Kingdom Dreams: Kenmare supermarket sells €1 Million winning Lotto Plus 1 ticket

National Lottery confirms Kerry winner HAS made contact!

ONE EuroMillions player in Ireland is GUARANTEED to win €1 Million tonight

With the entire Kingdom hoping to be cheering on Sunday, a Kerry Lotto player has started the celebrations early after becoming the 23rd National Lottery Millionaire of 2023.

The Kerry winner scooped the €1 Million top prize in Wednesday’s Lotto Plus 1 draw (26th July) after purchasing their winning ticket in Murphy’s Supervalu on Railway Road in Kenmare.

Store owner Derry Murphy was delighted to hear the good news: “It really could be anyone who’s won since we have a real mix of locals and tourists who shop with us every day. We’re a busy store in the centre of town so there will be a real buzz around the place as soon as the news gets out. To think that one of our customers is now a millionaire is very exciting and great news. The staff here will be delighted to hear that we sold a ticket worth €1 Million. The biggest prize that we sold before this was €500,000 in the EuroMillions Plus draw so we were definitely due another big win!”
