Winning Lotto ticket traced to Irish shop after player bags huge six-figure sum

The lucky winner, who is from Crosshaven in Cork, matched five numbers and the bonus in the draw.

An appeal has been issued to Irish Lotto players after a lucky punter scooped a life-changing amount of money in Saturday night’s draw.

The lucky winner, who is from Crosshaven in Cork, matched five numbers and the bonus in the draw. They will now pocket €130,389.

The National Lottery has confirmed the punter purchased the winning Quick Pick ticket on the day of the draw at Centra, Point Road, Crosshaven, Co. Cork.

The winning numbers for the Saturday, June 27, Lotto draw were: 12, 27, 29, 38, 43, 46 and the Bonus was 25.

This marks the second life-chaning Lotto win for The Rebel County this week after another Corkonian bagged the Lotto Plus 2 jackpot prize of €250,000 in Wednesday’s Lotto draw.

Lotto players in Cork are now being urged to check their tickets from Saturday night’s draw to see if they have bagged a huge prize.

Darragh O’Dwyer, National Lottery spokesperson, said: “While over 81,000 players nationwide won prizes in Saturday’s Lotto and Lotto Plus draws, just one player in Cork now has a ticket worth an incredible €130,389.

“We are urging all of our players, particularly those in the Crosshaven area, to carefully check their tickets today. The Cork player should sign the back of their ticket and keep it safe.

“They should 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.”

The National Lottery are now advising all players to check their tickets.

As there was no winner of the €5,181,046 jackpot on offer in last night’s Lotto draw, Wednesday’s jackpot is now set to roll towards an estimated €5.5 million.
