Irish Lotto winners collectively pocket €500k
Two winning Lotto tickets sold in Ireland have won close to €500,000 between them from the 12th October draw.
Two Irish lottery winners scooped a grand prize between them on the Lotto draw last week. The winners came from Kerry and Cork in Ireland. They played in two different draws.
Subsequently, they won a massive €493,365 between them.
The one in Kerry…
The lottery winner from Kerry scooped the top prize of €250,000 on the Lotto Plus 2 draw. The winning ticket was bought in Garvey’s Supervalu Tralee, Lower Rock Street in Tralee, Co. Kerry.
The Lotto Plus 2 numbers were: 05, 12, 20, 33, 42, 43 and the bonus number was 15.
The one in Cork…
Additionally, a Cork ticket-holder came close to hitting the €4,091,940 Lotto jackpot. However, they won €243,365 after matching five numbers and the bonus ball. The lottery winner in Cork bought their ticket at the Mace store in Mayfield Shopping Centre, Silversprings, Cork City.
The Lotto draw numbers were: 01, 23, 27, 33, 42, 44 and the bonus was 31.
Who are they?
The pair have not yet been identified. A spokesperson for the National Lottery said: “We are advising all our Kerry and Cork players to carefully check their tickets.
There were no winners of the Lotto jackpot. Therefore, it will roll on to an estimated €4.5m for the next draw this Wednesday.
Furthermore, it’s the second stroke of luck for Ireland in 24 hours after a EuroMillions Plus prize, worth €500,000 was won on Friday’s draw.
The Irish lottery has been running since March 23, 1987, making it the largest of the national lotteries.
