Lucky lotto shop revealed as hunt for multi-millionaire winner continues

The National Lottery has revealed the location of the winning store where a lucky punter bought their €8.7 million ticket.

Applegreen in Ballymount, Dublin 12, has been named as the store that sold Saturday’s Lotto jackpot-winning ticket, worth a staggering €8.7 million, but the search for the owner of the ticket is still ongoing.

It is known that the ticket, a Quick Pick, was purchased on the day of the actual draw.

Site Director at Applegreen Ballymount, Tom Hevey, said that the entire team in-store were delighted to hear the news: 

‘Getting a call from the National Lottery to say that our store sold a Lotto jackpot ticket worth over €8.7 million was the best way to get the week started.

‘The entire team in-store were absolutely thrilled to hear that one of our customers spent the Bank Holiday weekend becoming a Lotto jackpot millionaire.’

‘Applegreen Ballymount is a busy location with local and passing trade, so we hope that the winner checks their ticket soon – we wish them all the very best with their huge win!’  

As the winner is yet to come forward to claim their prize, National Lottery spokesperson Sarah Orr had the following advice for Ireland’s latest millionaire: 

‘Imagine having a Lotto ticket worth a staggering €8,726,418 and not realising just how much it’s worth.

‘Right now, that’s the reality of one person who purchased their winning Quick Pick ticket on the day of the draw at Applegreen Ballymount in the M50 Business Park in Dublin 12.

‘We are urging all of our players who may have popped into Applegreen Ballymount on Saturday 2nd May and purchased their Lotto ticket to carefully check their tickets today, as one person has a prize worth over €8.7 million waiting for them,’ she added.

‘The winner should sign the back of their ticket and contact our prize claims team as soon as possible.’
