A local store in Co. Meath has been revealed as the selling location for last Wednesday’s (5th October) Lotto jackpot winning ticket worth an astonishing €8,915,056. Lowthe’s Londis in Duleek, Co.Meath sold the winning normal play on Saturday 1st of October.
Store owner Seamus Lowthe was completely shocked to get the call that his store sold the winning life-changing ticket;
“The first thing I did was check my own ticket as I did the Lotto on Wednesday night for the first time in a while. I was in complete shock when the local rep called me the following day to let me know we’d sold the winning ticket. We’re a local family run store, open thirty-eight years and selling the Lotto thirty years and this is our first ever big win. It’s complete magic for us”, he said.
“It’s going to create some buzz and atmosphere around the village over the next couple of days. Everyone will be wondering who won. I hope it’s someone local, it would be great. It’s a class amount, life-changing. I’m absolutely delighted for the winner and I’m delighted for us. We wish them all the very best”, he added.
Seamus Lowthe and staff at his Londis store in Duleek village in Co. Meath celebrate after their shop was named as the selling location for last Wednesday's €8.9 million Lotto jackpot win.
