It comes as one Lotto punter became Ireland’s newest millionaire last weekend after scooping a massive €8.9m jackpot.
And National Lottery bosses revealed the player, who is the third Lotto jackpot winner of 2024, hails from Limerick.
The Treaty County winner will take home €8,970,934 after nailing all the numbers in Saturday night’s draw.
The winning numbers were: 01, 09, 10, 14, 26, 40 and the bonus was 04.
Garryowen’s GO Stores issued the jackpot docket but the owner has yet to come forward and collect their €8.9m prize.
‘No idea’
As the Champagne was popped today, chuffed shop owner Tom Brosnan said he still has “no idea” who Saturday night’s National Lottery winner is.
Back in 2005 the same little shop sold the bumper €115 million ticket to Ireland’s first megabucks EuroMillions winner Dolores McNamara.
That win catapulted the then-45-year-old mum to number 70 on a list of the country’s richest 100 people, streaking past Ireland legend ace Roy Keane and screen star Colin Farrell.
It was the highest win not just in the history of the state but in Europe at the time.
Today staff member Jack Summerfield said the latest news had sparked “a gold rush” with customers lining up to buy lotto tickets.
He told the Irish Sun: “Everyone’s waiting, hoping to hear who the winner is soon.
“People are saying there must be something lucky about the shop so there’s a bit of superstition feeding into it.”
