The location of the winning ticket has not been established as the player is yet to come forward to the National Lottery to claim their winnings. The winning numbers were 4, 21, 23, 27, 34 and 38 with the bonus number 37. Once identified, the winner will collect their jackpot of €6,241,505. Over 63,000 people won prizes in the latest draw, with the second-largest sum of €122,669 awaiting collection by one other lucky player in a mystery location who matched five numbers and the bonus.
"Today we are appealing to Lotto players in both counties to check their tickets very carefully as two people now have tickets worth a life-changing €1 million each. "The winners are advised to sign the back of their tickets and keep them safe," Ms Orr said. They should then contact our Prize Claims team who will make arrangements for them to visit our Winners Room to collect their prizes," she added.
