Midlands Lotto Player Scoops Up €2m In Jackpot

They won in Wednesday night's draw.

A lucky Laois Lotto player has scooped up over €2m in the Jackpot.

The online player is the 32nd National Lottery millionaire of the year, and the second in the midlands in 2023

The winning numbers in Wednesday night's draw were: 02, 12, 16, 24, 39, 40 and the bonus was 25. 

The winner, who bought the ticket online or on the app, has been sent an email.

The National Lottery says a notification has been sent to the lucky player's account to inform them of the good news.

The National Lottery says:
"It was a life-changing Wednesday night for an online Lotto player in Laois who won over €2.29 million in the midweek draw.

The Laois player has now been crowned as the 12th Lotto jackpot winner for the year to date following jackpot wins by players in Limerick, Dublin, Meath, Donegal, Westmeath, Louth and Leitrim."

Meanwhile, the deadline for a midlands Lotto player to claim a near-€50k prize is looming.

The €45,075 Telly Bingo ticket was purchased on the 4th of July at Dunnes Stores in the Kyle Shopping Centre on James Fintan Lalor Avenue in Portlaoise.

The deadline to claim that prize is close of business today.

The National Lottery is urging players in Laois to check their old tickets and make contact with the prize team.

The National Lottery says:

"There is a Telly Bingo player who is yet to come forward to claim their €45,075 Snowball prize from the Friday 14th July draw.

As close of business today is the deadline to claim, we are eager to hear from this player as soon as possible.

The winning ticket was purchased on Tuesday 4th July at Dunnes Stores in the Kyle Shopping Centre on James Fintan Lalor Avenue in Portlaoise.

If this sounds familiar to any of our Laois players, get checking those old tickets as soon as possible and make contact with our prize claims team on 1800 666 222 or email claims@lottery.ie and arrangements will be made for you to collect your prize.” 

It was also a memorable day for a work syndicate in Laois, who claimed their €250k prize in Dublin today.

They won that prize back in August.

The winner of that syndicate says:

“It’s been an incredibly exciting couple of weeks.

Some people might say that I have a strange routine with my lottery tickets.

I buy my weekly ticket and I always wait a couple of weeks until I check them.

It allows me to daydream for a little longer with the hope that I could potentially have a winning lottery ticket worth a couple of million euro in my wallet.

On this occasion, shortly after the draw, somebody told me that the Lotto Plus 2 top prize was sold exactly where I bought the ticket for the syndicate.

My ears cocked up immediately and I thought, oh hello, the chances of me having this winning ticket could actually be a reality.

Any normal person would have checked their ticket straight away but I still managed to hold out for nearly two weeks before I actually checked the ticket.

It was only when I read that the winner of the prize still hadn’t come forward to claim it that I knew I just had to check it. All that anticipation and build up was all the sweeter when I checked it to see we had won the €250,000 prize,”
