Kerry Player Wins €2,274,988 Lotto Jackpot, Following Mayo Player's €108,809 Win

A National Lottery player in Co. Kerry has woken up this morning as Ireland’s newest multi-Millionaire after winning €2,274,988 in last night’s (Wednesday, 19th February) main Lotto draw. The Quick Pick ticket was purchased on the day of the draw.

The Kerry winner becomes the third Lotto Jackpot winner of 2025, joining the ranks of other big winners from Louth and Dublin. This latest win also makes the player from the Kingdom the fifth National Lottery Millionaire of 2025!

The celebrations don’t stop there because a Mayo player is celebrating today after matching 5 numbers and the bonus to secure a handsome prize of €108,809. Their Quick Pick ticket was purchased on the day of the draw from Casey’s Londis in Balla, Main Street, Castlebar, Co. Mayo.
The winning numbers from last night’s draw were 2, 27, 28, 29, 38, 44 and the Bonus was 20.

The National Lottery has confirmed that the store location where the winning Lotto Jackpot ticket was purchased will be announced on Friday, 21st February.

The National Lottery is urging all players in the Kerry and Mayo areas to check their tickets carefully and if you’re holding the winning ticket, be sure to contact the National Lottery prize claims team on 1800 666 222 or email claims@lottery.ie to arrange the collection of your prize.
