Millions for mystery Myrtleville winner

A shop near Myrtleville Beach has been confirmed to be where a Lotto ticket worth over €2.4 million was purchased.

The prize has yet to be claimed by the winner and the National Lottery is strongly urging Lotto players in Cork to check their tickets carefully.

The winning Quick Pick ticket was sold on the day of the draw, Saturday 29 May, at O’Connell’s Foodstore in Myrtleville.

Saturday night’s €2.4 million jackpot marked the fourth Lotto jackpot to be won so far this year.

The win came just a week after the €6.4 million Lotto jackpot was won by an Athlone player in the 22 May draw.

Shop owner, Paul O’Connell, was delighted to hear the news that his shop was the selling location for the latest Lotto jackpot win.

“I will never forget getting the call from the National Lottery and hearing the good news that my shop had sold a ticket worth €2.4 million! I reckon as soon as word starts to spread, there will be great excitement around the town.

“One lucky customer really has gotten their summer off to the best start. I hope the winner enjoys celebrating their win and I wish them all the best,” said Mr O’Connell.

The winning ticket holder is advised to sign the back of their ticket and keep it in a safe place.

They should also contact the prize claims team on 1800-666222 or claims@lottery.ie and arrangements will be made for them to claim their prize.
