Lotto player claims life-changing prize right in time for Christmas

A DUBLIN lotto player had a week to remember right in time for Christmas has they scooped up a prize of €1 million.

A Daily Million player had a Christmas week to remember after dropping into Lotto HQ to pick up a life-changing prize worth €1 million. The Dublin winner was over the moon after purchasing their winning ticket at the Centra store at the Texaco Service Station on the Malahide Road in Dublin 17 for the 2pm draw on Saturday, December 9. 

The winner admitted that it was a few days before they realized they had won. “To be honest, I didn’t even know that a top prize had been won that day so when I was scanning my ticket to check it, I wasn’t even thinking anything of it. When I got the ‘You’ve Won Big’ message, I checked my numbers and it was the most surreal thing."

Separately, a Kerry Lotto player also had a memorable lead-up to Christmas after visiting the Winners Room to collect their Match 5+Bonus prize worth €192,994 which they won in last Saturday’s (16th December) draw. The Kingdom of Ireland player scooped the incredible amount after purchasing their winning ticket at Garvey’s SuperValu in Dingle, Co. Kerry.
