The shop where the €17 million jackpot winning EuroMillions ticket was sold has been revealed, with the Co Cavan winner yet to come forward.
The Lidl store on the Athlone Road in Creighan, just outside Cavan town, sold the winning ticket on the day of the draw, last Friday.
The winning numbers in Friday night’s draw were 7, 25, 30, 37 and 41, with the lucky stars 5 and 11.
“We’re absolutely thrilled to have sold the winning ticket to a Lidl customer, and just before Christmas too,” Lidl Ireland’s corporate affairs director Eimear O’Sullivan said.
“We’re urging any Lidl customers who shopped with us on Friday to be sure to check their tickets as they could be in store for a very happy Christmas this year.”
National Lottery spokesperson Sarah Orr has called on anybody who bought their EuroMillions ticket at the store on Friday to check their tickets.
“Imagine realising that you have a ticket worth €17 million in your possession. That’s sure to be the reality of a EuroMillions player in Cavan who has now taken the title of the 19th Irish EuroMillions jackpot winner,” she said.
“As we have yet to hear from our latest jackpot winner, we are appealing to all of our EuroMillions players who may have purchased their tickets for the Friday, December 12 draw at the Lidl store in Creighan on the Athlone Road to carefully check their tickets today as one person now has a ticket worth a massive €17 million.
“The winner should stay calm and sign the back of their ticket. They should make contact with our prize claims team on 1800 666 222 or email claims@lottery.ie and arrangements will be made for them to visit Lottery headquarters to collect their life-changing prize.”
There have been two big EuroMillions wins in Ireland this year, including the Cork family syndicate who won a massive €250 million prize in June.
Two National Lottery players in Cavan have become millionaires in recent weeks after another lucky winner scooped €1 million in the Daily Million draw on November 30.
