A lucky lotto player in Laois is set to be €1 million richer today.

Sunday's winning Daily Millions ticket was sold in Tesco in Portlaoise at 2pm.

Players are being advised to check their tickets - the winning numbers were 02, 05, 13, 19, 28, 35 and the bonus was 17.

The winner, who has yet to make contact, is the 22nd National Lottery millionaire of 2022.

It comes several other Irish people could become millionaires later tonight.

The Euromillions jackpot, at €230 million, is the highest ever since the multi-national lottery was launched in 2004.

So far, 17 Irish ticket holders have won the jackpot.

Sarah Orr of the National Lottery says, if the top prize is not won tonight, over €20 million will filter down to the next tier of winners:

James Scully, Store Manager of Tesco Portlaoise was thrilled to hear the news;

“As a local Portlaoise man, I’m delighted to hear that one of our customers has won big over the weekend. It really is life-changing. Everybody in the store here in Portlaoise is delighted to have sold the winning ticket, knowing that it could be one of our loyal customers. News of the win is starting to spread locally and there is a great atmosphere with people coming in to check their tickets, hoping to be the Portlaoise’s newest millionaire! Whoever the winner is, we wish them every success with their massive win.”
