A Lotto player in Dublin had a Saturday night to remember after matching five numbers and the bonus to win €55,439 after purchasing their quick pick ticket at Tesco, Artane Castle, Kilmore Road, Dublin 5.
The National Lottery is urging the winner to make contact with the prize claims team on 1800 666 222 or email claims@lottery.ie and arrangements will be made for them to claim their prize.
The winning numbers for Saturday’s (23rd July) Lotto draw were: 11, 17, 35, 39, 40, 46, and the bonus number was 4.
Saturday night’s Lotto draw marked the fourth Lotto Plus Raffle promotion of the year which saw 97 players get a massive boost to their winnings as the National Lottery topped up the Lotto Plus Raffle with an additional €1 million. The Lotto Plus Raffle typically sees between 80 and 120 winners of €500 in every draw. Last night, there were 97 Raffle winners which meant the boosted prize fund divided out to a prize of €10,809 for each Raffle winner.
The winning Lotto Plus Raffle number was: 1303

A National Lottery spokesperson said: “Last night’s draw proved to be a big one for Lotto players all over the country. A player in Dublin became the biggest winner of the night after matching five numbers and the bonus to win a respectable €55,439 while 97 players shared a boosted prize fund due to the additional €1 million in the Lotto Plus Raffle prize fund. Instead of receiving €500 as is the typical prize for the Lotto Plus Raffle, each of these winners will now go on to claim €10,809 each.”
“As there was no winner of Saturday night’s €4,367,050 jackpot, Wednesday’s Lotto jackpot (27th July) is now set to roll towards an estimated €4.8 million.
