Two Munster Lotto players are in for an especially lovely Bank Holiday weekend after winning almost €80,000 in last night’s draw.
The punters, located in Cork and Kerry, matched five numbers each and the bonus to secure their prize of €77,437. The Cork player bought their winning Quick Pick ticket on the day of the draw (Saturday, 24th October) at Collins SuperValu, Carrigaline on the town’s Main Street.
Meanwhile, the Kerry player purchased their winning Quick Pick ticket on the same day at Centra on Muckross Road in Killarney. But even if you aren’t one of these players, there are still plenty of reasons to check your numbers.
The National Lottery’s website shows that another 20 punters won €1,292 in last night’s draw by matching just five numbers, while a further 32 people won €203 by matching four and the bonus.
The results of Saturday’s Lotto draw were: 2, 15, 24, 25, 30, 43 and the Bonus was 16.
