Mayo Centra store revealed as location of €1 million winning Lotto ticket

There were celebrations to be heard far and wide in Westport town as Hobans Centra was announced as the selling location of a winning lotto ticket worth €1 million.

The life-changing sum was won as the top prize in Lotto Plus last Saturday, July 13.

Shop owner Sean Hoban, who has owned the Mayo store for nine years, was delighted to hear the news from the weekend.

“This is by far the biggest win that we have ever had so we’re all thrilled here in the store. We have a team of around 20 working here and we’re all just over the moon as it’s not everyday that you hear that one of your customer’s has become an overnight millionaire,” he commented.

Mr Hoban said the family shop, which is located in the heart of Westport town, is kept busy  ‘all year round’ with ‘local and holiday trade’, and wished the winners ‘all the very best with their huge win’.

The National Lottery has confirmed that Saturday’s winner has come forward and arrangements are being made for them to visit Lotto HQ to collect their €1 million prize.
