A Laois Lotto jackpot winner is celebrating this week after collecting their life-changing cheque worth €2,294,855
They won online in the Wednesday, October 11 draw.
The winner admitted that it was a few days before they realised their win:
“To think I was walking around for a few days without any idea that I was a Lotto jackpot winner!
“I have played online for a few years now so I am used to seeing messages and notifications about smaller prizes.
“When I saw the message for this one, I didn’t think anything of it at first, so I logged in as usual and immediately got a huge shock seeing the amount looking back at me.
“It certainly feels surreal to even be sitting here in the Winners’ Room but the next plan is to take a holiday to celebrate and let the news sink in.”
There is also a guaranteed €1 Million to be SHARED in the Lotto Plus Raffle this Saturday, November 11.
This Saturday’s Lotto draw promises to see even bigger prizes up for grabs after the National Lottery confirmed that it will be adding an additional €1 million to the Lotto Plus Raffle prize fund for this Saturday’s draw.
The Lotto Plus Raffle typically sees around 60-120 winners of €500 in every draw but on Saturday night, players are set for a boost in their winnings.
By topping up the raffle prize fund by €1 million, all winners of the Lotto Plus Raffle will take home the usual €500 prize PLUS share an extra €1 MILLION between them.
Saturday night’s jackpot is now heading towards an estimated €5 million.
Nearly 30 cent in every €1 spent on all National Lottery games goes back to Good Causes in the areas of sport, youth, health, welfare, education, arts, heritage, and the Irish Language.
In total more than €6 Billion has been raised for Good Causes since the National Lottery was established 36 years ago.
In 2022 alone, €259 million was raised for local Good Causes in communities across Ireland.
