There was one winner of Wednesday’s National Lottery jackpot, which was worth over €17m.
The winning numbers were 2, 6, 20, 22, 26, 39, and the bonus number was 5.
The location of the ticket is yet to be confirmed.
It is the country’s third-largest ever win, with the total jackpot coming to €17,008,295.
The biggest Lotto jackpot ever won in Ireland was €19m, with the ticket being sold in Mayo in 2022. In 2008, a shop in Carlow sold a ticket that won €18.9m.
This is the seventh major Lotto win of the year, with previous jackpots won in Kerry, Dublin, Kilkenny, Waterford, Limerick and Louth.
Meanwhile, a punter who won €1m on July 5 has claimed their prize. The winning ticket for the Lotto Plus Raffle special event was purchased at Ely’s Centra in Clerihan, Co. Tipperary.
“I saw the news online that the winning ticket was bought where I got mine! I scanned it and panic set in – I didn’t know what to do with myself. A family member kept telling me to ‘stay calm’… although it didn’t really help,” the winner said as he picked up his prize.
