While a Mayo player officially took the title of biggest winner of the night in Saturday’s Lotto draw, 149 other players from all over Ireland, including two from Longford, shared an astonishing prize fund of almost €5.5 million at the Match 5+Bonus prize tier.
The winning tickets, claiming a prize of €36,687 each, were sold in Dunnes Stores, Weavers Site, Dublin Road, Longford and The Kiosk, 57 Dublin Street, Longford, Co Longford.
The National Lottery has urged players to check their tickets carefully and for the 149 winners to sign the back of their tickets and keep them safe.
The lucky winners should make contact with the prize claims team on 1800 666 222 or email claims@lottery.ie and arrangements will be made for them to claim their prizes.
Congratulations to both ticket holders!
