Nice little win for Mayo Lotto duo

IT'S been a week of unforgettable wins and joyful journeys to National Lottery HQ as players from across the country step forward to claim life-changing prizes.

Among the winners was a Mayo duo who claimed their Match 5 + Bonus prize from the August 30 Lotto draw, scooping an impressive €40,002.

The winning ticket was purchased at Hiney's Londis in Crossmolina.

One member of the duo recalled the moment he bought the ticket. “I just had a good feeling when I bought it,” he laughed.

Since discovering their win, the ticket has been treated like treasure. “I’ve been minding that ticket with my life - it’s either been by my side or hidden away in a secret box in a cupboard.”

When asked how they plan to celebrate, the pair shared: “We haven’t celebrated just yet, but we’re looking forward to booking a holiday somewhere sunny.”

Down in Sligo, a syndicate of five has claimed the National Lottery’s latest millionaire prize, winning the EuroMillions Ireland Only Raffle from the August 1 draw with their online ticket.

The group discovered their win while on holiday, turning a relaxing break into a moment of pure celebration.

And in Galway, a local Athenry woman also made the exciting journey to Lottery HQ to claim her Lotto Match 5 + Bonus prize from the August 2 draw, walking away with a dazzling €60,394.
