The owner of a ticket bought in Offaly became the biggest winner of last night’s Lotto draw after matching 5 numbers and the bonus to scoop a whopping €225,634.
The winning quick-pick ticket was sold on Monday in Spar, Obama Plaza, Moneygall.
Operations Manager Henry Healy was ecstatic when he discovered the shop sold the winning ticket:
“Ah look it's fantastic news, we’re here eight years here and this is the largest win for us so far. I didn’t even bother checking my own ticket, I don’t even win arguments, let alone the Lotto!”, he chuckled.
“We’re a very busy motorway service station so we have a high footfall.
While speculation is rife it's someone local, it could easily be someone who was passing by, who didn’t realize their win until they landed home.
It’s a great boost for us here, there will be plenty of conversations and speculation over the next few days.
We’re delighted one of our customers won and that one of our staff members made someone’s day extra special”, he added.
The winning numbers in Wednesday’s ?Lotto?draw were:?9, 21, 22, 24, 30, 46 and the bonus was 5
