Another big Lotto win in Thurles
A Tipperary winner popped into National Lottery Headquarters and left with a cheque worth €500,000. The Premier County winner scooped the top prize in the EuroMillions Plus draw on 16th February after purchasing their ticket at the Circle K on Kickham Street in Thurles, Co. Tipperary.
“I checked the ticket on the night of the draw and immediately got the You’ve won Big message which I had never seen before. I checked the results straight away and initially got a little confused between whether I needed to have the lucky stars or not so I was half doubting myself, convinced that there was no way that this could be real. And then of course, I could see I had all five numbers needed in the Plus game so I knew.
“Since it was a Friday night, I had to wait all weekend before I could contact Claims to confirm my win and make arrangements so it was a weekend of holding on to my ticket and waiting to make that all important call. I don’t play often but I sure am glad I did this time.”
Nearly 30 cent in every €1 spent on 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, €259.5 million was raised for local Good Causes in communities across Ireland. Play National Lottery games responsibly, play for fun.
