The National Lottery is urging all players in the Leighlinbridge area to check their tickets carefully and the holder of the winning ticket is advised to contact the National Lottery prize claims team to arrange the collection of the life-changing prize.
Richard Brennan, Owner of Mace Leighlinbridge says everyone at the store is thrilled to have sold the winning ticket.
“We are a family run business here in Leighlinbridge, my parents bought the shop way back in 1959, and my wife Geraldine and I took it over in 2000. This is the first high tier prize the store has sold and what an amount it is!
"We are delighted with today’s news that we are the store to have sold the winning EuroMillions Ireland Only Raffle ticket worth €1,005,000! I’d like to thank our amazing team, for their dedication and hard work, serving our local community here in Leighlinbridge.”
