Check your tickets, someone won €10,288,699 last night in the lotto

Lotto players in the north west will be checking their numbers this morning as the whole country wonders who won  €10,288,699  on last night’s mega Lotto Draw.

The winning numbers are: 3, 19, 21, 29, 31, 35 and bonus number is 22.

The National Lottery today appealed to all of its players across the country to check their tickets to see if they have become the 21st Lotto player in the history of Lotto to win over €10 million

This latest jackpot win comes the same week a large family syndicate from North Dublin scooped a mind-blowing €175 million on the EuroMillions game.

A National Lottery spokesperson said it hopes to reveal the name of the winning store in the next couple of days. “With a jackpot win of this amount we need a little time to inform the shop owner and to give the winner time and space to let this huge win sink in.“

This jackpot was close to being shared as another Limerick Lotto player fell one number short, matching five numbers and the bonus ball. This lucky player has won €87,874 and bought their ticket at Deerpark Dairies on Davis Street, Limerick City.  

Since the Lotto game was launched in 1988, 21 lucky players have won jackpots that exceed €10 million. Two of those big wins were in the north west, remarkably in different counties, Donegal and Leitrim, but only four miles apart as one was won in Bundoran in 2014, the other in nearby Kinlough.

The highest Lotto Jackpot in the history of the National Lottery was €18.9 million in Hegarty’s, Staplestown, Co. Carlow, in June 2008.
