One lucky Lotto syndicate in Waterford are in for the summer holidays of a lifetime after scooping a whopping €1m on a single scratch card.
The lucky €20 All Cash Millionaire Scratch Card was purchased in Hickson’s Centra in Tankfield, Corbally, Upper Tramore, Co. Waterford. This is the second-ever €1 million scratch card win in the history of the National Lottery, and a spokesperson has confirmed that the syndicate – who have chosen to remain private – have already claimed the prize.
Shop owners Ailish and Donal Hickson said their store is situated in a very tight-knit community, and they have no doubt that news of the win will travel fast. They said: “This year will be our 20th Anniversary since we took over the store and what a way to mark such a huge milestone. This is the largest prize that we have ever sold and there has been great excitement in-store ever since we got the call from the National Lottery.
“Our shop is located in the heart of a close-knit community so as soon as word spreads, I am sure the locals will be thrilled to hear that such a large prize was won here in Tramore. We wish the winner all the very best with their win.”
National Lottery spokesperson Sarah Orr said: “There is sure to be great excitement in Tramore today following the announcement of a €1 million top prize win on All Cash Millionaire. A syndicate, who chose to remain private, have claimed the incredible prize.
“The win represents another landmark moment for the National Lottery, as the second €1 million top prize ever won on a Scratch Card game. The first historic win took place in May, when a player scooped €1 million on a Scratch Card purchased at Applegreen Gorey, Ramstown Lower, Gorey, Co. Wexford.”
