The player won the life-changing sum in Saturday night's special Lotto Plus Raffle event.

A National Lottery delegation will travel to Doherty’s Centra store in Moville on Monday to celebrate the win.
Each of the tickets with the winning Lotto Plus Raffle number drawn in the draw were entered into a once-off random draw where one ticket was selected to win an additional prize of €1 million.
