Celebration central! Cheques and cheers issued at Lottery HQ all week long 

It’s been a whirlwind week of wins for Lottery players across Ireland! From TellyBingo triumphs to dazzling Lotto victories, winners from all corners of the country flocked to the bustling heart of Dublin to visit Lottery HQ and collect their incredible prizes. 

First up, a TellyBingo player from Dublin claimed an impressive €60,005 on Thursday, January 23. The Dubliner scored the Snowball Top Prize after matching a full house in 51 calls or less. The winning ticket was purchased at Noel’s, 3 Meath Mart, Meath Street, Dublin 8.  

The winner shared their disbelief, “I tuned in live and couldn’t believe I had won, even after it was announced on air. I had to get the ticket scanned to be sure. It still hasn’t sunk in!” 

Next, a Limerick man made his way to the capital to claim his dazzling prize of €32,992 after matching 5 numbers plus the bonus in the 15th January Lotto draw.

Reflecting on his incredible win, he shared, "I have a scheduled play set up on the app, and on the night of the draw, I was at a comedy show – quite the coincidence! During the show, I saw an email notification on my phone. When I clicked on it, the first thing I saw was ‘You’ve Won Big’. I turned my phone to show my family, completely unaware of the fortune that awaited us."

This isn't his first surprising win either. Previously, he won €2,000 in a EuroMillions game, which funded a memorable family trip to the beautiful Inchydoney. This time round, he hopes to put his fortunes towards some shiny new wheels, a sun-soaked holiday, and a boost to his pension pot. 

A Mayo man also made his journey across the country, after striking gold, claiming an impressive €31,916 by matching 5 numbers and the bonus in the November 27 Lotto draw. The winning ticket, purchased at Hollymount Stores in Claremorris, Co. Mayo, has brought a wave of joy and disbelief. With no immediate plans for the prize, he's eagerly looking forward to taking some well-deserved time off. 

Nearly 30 cent in every €1 spent on all National Lottery games goes back to Good Causes in the areas of sport, youth, health, welfare, education, arts, heritage, and the Irish Language.

In total, more than €6.5 billion has been raised for Good Causes since the National Lottery was established 37 years ago. In 2023 alone, €227.9 million was raised for local Good Causes in communities across Ireland.
