It was a busy weekend for Lotto players
A Cork store has been revealed as the selling location of a winning million euro Lotto ticket.
On Sunday, one lucky Lotto player became Ireland’s latest Daily Million winner after bagging the top prize in Sunday’s 2pm draw.
Now Lotto bosses have confirmed that Tom Stanley’s store, based in Kent Train Station in Cork city, sold the winning €1 million ticket. The winner purchased the Quick Pick ticket on the day of the draw on Sunday.
It was a remarkable weekend for National Lottery players, with two new millionaires created across Saturday and Sunday.
A player in Co Offaly won Saturday night’s Lotto jackpot worth €8,221,849, while Sunday afternoon’s Daily Million draw delivered another top prize win for Cork. The latest result brings the total number of National Lottery millionaires so far this year to 19, including four in Cork.
Store manager, Musharaf Hussain, was delighted to receive the call from the National Lottery to hear that his store sold the top prize-winning ticket from the weekend.
He said: “We were absolutely delighted to hear that one of our customers has won €1 million. Located in the heart of Kent Station in Cork City, we welcome a constant stream of people through our doors every day, whether they’re commuting, heading off on holidays, visiting Cork or simply passing through.
“That’s what makes this win so exciting; it really could be anyone! We’re grateful for the ongoing support from our National Lottery sales representative, who is always on hand to help. We’d like to congratulate the winner and wish them every happiness as they enjoy this incredible prize.”
National Lottery spokesperson, Emma Monaghan, shared: “We’re still waiting to hear from our newest millionaire in Cork!
“Were you heading off on a trip, visiting Cork, commuting through the city or making your way home? If you stopped by Tom Stanley’s and picked up a Daily Million ticket, it could be worth a very exciting second look – you might now have a ticket worth an incredible €1 million. We’re asking players to check those pockets, handbags, wallets and wherever else tickets tend to hide!”
The Cork winner is advised to contact the National Lottery Prize Claims team on 1800 666 222 or email claims@lottery.ie, and arrangements will be made for them to collect their prize at Lottery Headquarters.
Meanwhile, National Lottery players eagerly awaiting news of where Saturday night’s Lotto jackpot-winning ticket was sold will find out tomorrow, Wednesday, July 29, when National Lottery officials reveal the winning location in Offaly.
