There was a buzz around Charleville after it was announced that a Rebel County player scooped a life-changing €1,000,500 in the special Lotto Plus Raffle on Saturday, July 6.
The Cork player purchased their winning ticket at Dunnes Stores in Charleville to become the 19th National Lottery millionaire of 2024.
Store Manager Bobby Stakelum was thrilled to get the call from the National Lottery confirming the good news: “As soon as we got word that we sold the winning ticket, the excitement took over the entire team. All of the staff were over the moon and eager to encourage our customers to check their tickets as soon as possible.
“It’s not everyday that someone becomes a millionaire and with this being the biggest ticket that we’ve ever sold, it feels even more special. We have lots of local customers here so it’s great to think that it could be someone in the community enjoying this huge windfall. Whoever the winner is, we wish them all the very best with their win.”
The National Lottery has confirmed that the newest Lotto millionaire has made contact and arrangements are being made for the Cork winner to visit Lotto HQ to collect their prize.
Meanwhile, players hoping to be the next winners to make the trip to Lottery Headquarters to collect life-changing prizes are reminded that tonight’s EuroMillions jackpot is set to be a guaranteed €17 million while tomorrow night’s Lotto jackpot is set to roll towards an estimated €2.8 million.
With two huge amounts up for grabs in the midweek draws, players can purchase tickets nationwide in-store, through the National Lottery app or at www.lottery.ie.
