Dublin Lotto winner scoops almost €6.8m as National Lottery urges players to check tickets
A Dublin Lotto player has become Ireland's newest multi-millionaire after scooping nearly €6.8m jackpot in Saturday night's draw.
The Dubliner is the fifth Lotto Jackpot prize winner this year, following wins by two players from Dublin, one from Louth and one from Limerick.
The National Lottery has urged Dublin Lotto players to check their tickets from Saturday's draw.
It comes as the winning numbers last Saturday, June 29, were: 1, 4, 8, 21, 27, 28 and the bonus was 34.
The store location where the winning ticket was purchased will be revealed by the National Lottery on Tuesday, July 2.
More than 91,000 players in Ireland won prizes across the Lotto and Lotto Plus games on Saturday as the Dublin player has become the biggest winner of the night with a ticket worth €6,788,177.
The newest Lotto millionaire is advised to sign the back of their ticket, keep it safe, and contact the National Lottery prize claims team.
National Lottery spokesperson Sarah Ruane has appealed to all Dublin players to check their tickets.
“It was an incredibly busy and colourful weekend in Dublin with massive concerts and parades taking place across the capital," she said.
"To round up a memorable weekend, one Lotto player from Dublin has become the latest jackpot winner after scooping the massive €6,788,177 jackpot on offer in the weekend draw.
"We are appealing to all of our players who may have purchased their tickets in Dublin to carefully check their tickets as soon as possible as one player now has a ticket worth a life-changing amount.”
