The winning ticket worth €1,005,000 (€1 million and five thousand euro) was won by a player in Mayo who purchased their ticket through the National Lottery App. The National Lottery has confirmed that a notification to the user’s online account and a separate email has now been sent to the lucky Mayo ticket holder.
