]]> A Lotto player who bought their ticket at the Hilltop Service Station in Culleens, Co Sligo, has just days to come forward to claim their prize.

The Sligo player scooped their €36,687 prize in the Saturday 15th January draw after purchasing a Lotto Match 5 + Bonus ticket at the filling station.

As ticketholders have 90 days from the draw date to claim their prize, the claim deadline for the Lotto Match 5+Bonus prize is close of business on Friday 15th April 2022.

The winning Lotto numbers for the Saturday 15th January 2022 draw were: 02, 09, 16, 30, 37, 40 and the bonus 23.

Saturday 15th January marked the historic ‘Will be Won’ event in which a player in Mayo won the largest jackpot ever seen in the Lotto game in Ireland.

As the Lotto jackpot was capped at €19.06 million, the funds that would usually go to the jackpot flowed down to the next highest tier at which there was a winner and in that draw, this was the Match 5 + Bonus prize tier. 149 players all over Ireland shared a prize fund of almost €5.5 million at the Match 5+Bonus prize tier to win €36,687 each.

A National Lottery spokesperson has appealed to Lotto players in Sligo to check their tickets urgently to ensure that they do not miss the upcoming deadline to claim their prize.

]]> A lucky winner from Ballina, Co Clare, has scooped a whopping €30,928,078 prize jackpot in Friday’s EuroMillions draw.

The winning ticket was sold by Larkin’s Gala in Ballina, Killaloe, Co. Clare and the ticket buyer has been announced as the sole winner of the EuroMillions Jackpot, matching five numbers and two stars making them Ireland’s latest multimillionaire after winning the life-changing amount.

Speaking about the win, Siobhan Larkin, store owner of Larkin’s Gala in Ballina, said: “When our visitors from the National Lottery arrived here on Sunday evening, I was totally overwhelmed and in quite a state of shock. I couldn’t believe that it was our store that sold the winning ticket worth €30.9 million.

“We are coming up to 21 years in business here this March so what a way this is to mark the occasion. The vast majority of our customers are locals so we hope that the winner might be a local too and wish them all the very best with their huge win.

“This win is going to be absolutely huge for the community. It’s become a bit of a running joke now as to where the winning ticket was actually sold, because of Ballina’s unique border location – was it Clare, Limerick or Tipperary? As proud Tipperary people, we’ll be claiming the win for Tipp!”

This is not the first Euromillions winner to have purchased a winning lottery ticket from a Gala store. Since 2020, more than €45 million of prize money has been claimed by winners who purchased their winning tickets at Gala stores including Rogan’s Gala in Clifden, Co. Galway (€7.3m); DeLoughry’s Gala, Talbot’s Inch, Kilkenny (€5.4m); Doyle’s Gala, Tullamore, Offaly (€25k); Gala Bosheen, Wexford (€500k);  Mulhern’s Gala, Crossmolina, Mayo (€305k); Minahan’s Gala, Clonakilty, Cork (€1m) and now Larkin’s Gala in Ballina, Co. Clare (€30.9m).
