A National Lottery spokesperson said: “It was a big night for our Lotto players last night. We had our first Lotto Plus 2 top prize winner of the year after one lucky player bought their winning ticket online.

We are urging all of our players who bought tickets in Dublin 12 and Clonmel to check their tickets very carefully as they could be worth €76,333. If you are one of these big winners, we ask that that you sign the back of your ticket and contact our prize claims team on 1800 666 222 or email claims@lottery.ie, and we will make arrangements for you to claim your prize.”
