Bumper Lotto draw produces TWO brand new Millionaires in Dublin and Kilkenny just in time for Christmas!

 

It could be a life-changing Christmas for two lucky Lotto players in Dublin and Kilkenny who both became overnight Millionaires following Saturday night’s (23^rd December) bumper Lotto draw. 
 
An online player in Co. Kilkenny matched all six numbers in the Lotto Plus 1 draw to scoop the €1 Million top prize. The National Lottery has confirmed that a notification to the user’s online account and a separate email has now been sent to the lucky Kilkenny ticketholder.

The winning numbers in the Lotto Plus 1 draw were: 01, 02, 03, 11, 32, 35 and the Bonus: 42.

Also celebrating today is a North County Dublin player who won the special ‘forgotten’ €1,000,500 (One Million and five hundred euro) Lotto Plus Raffle prize. The winning Quick Pick ticket was purchased at the AppleGreen store at Roundtower in Lusk in North County Dublin. 
 
This special €1 Million Raffle prize was returned to players after a ticket holder in Monaghan missed a prize claim last November for a Lotto Plus Raffle prize of €1,000,500 which they won on Saturday 19^th August. 
 
The Lotto Plus Raffle typically sees between 60 and 120 winners of €500 in every draw but last night’s draw saw ONE Dublin player enjoy an even higher windfall due to a special Raffle event. 

Each of the tickets with the winning Lotto Plus Raffle number drawn in the draw were entered into a once-off random draw where one ticket was selected to win an additional prize of €1 Million. While every ticket holder who had the winning Raffle number won €500, one player has won €1 Million, in addition to the usual €500 prize. 

  The winning Raffle number was: 9652

While there were an incredible 119,000 prize winners in Saturday’s bumper Lotto draw, there was no winner of the €9.8 Million jackpot on offer which rolls to an estimated €10.2 Million next Wednesday.

The National Lottery is advising all big prize winners over the festive season to sign the back of their winning tickets and keep them safe. They should make contact 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 early in the New Year.

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. In total more than €6 Billion has been raised for Good Causes since the National Lottery was established 36 years ago. In 2022 alone, €259.5 Million was raised for local Good Causes in communities across Ireland.
