‘Fantastic surprise’ – Lucky Lotto player bags €45k as winning shop revealed & punters urged to check

A LUCKY Lotto player is celebrating after matching five numbers and the bonus to win €45,441 in Saturday night’s main Lotto draw.

The winning Quick Pick ticket was purchased on the day of the draw from Al’s Simply Good Food, Unit F, Market Green Shopping Centre, Midleton, Co. Cork.

The winning numbers in the Saturday, September 26, Lotto draw were: 6, 13, 14, 22, 36, 42 and the bonus was 18.

National Lottery spokesperson Darragh O’Dwyer said: “What a fantastic weekend surprise for a Lotto player in Co. Cork who is now set to collect €45,441 after matching five numbers and the bonus in Saturday night’s draw.

“We are encouraging all of our players who purchased a Quick Pick ticket at Al’s Simply Good Food in the Market Green Shopping Centre in Midleton to check their tickets carefully today.

“The winning ticketholder should sign the back of their ticket and contact our Prize Claims team so that arrangements can be made for them to collect their prize!”

The Cork ticketholder is advised to sign the back of their ticket and contact the National Lottery Prize Claims team on 1800 666 222 or email claims@lottery.ie.

Arrangements will then be made for them to collect their prize at Lottery Headquarters.

Meanwhile, as there was no winner of the €4,391,042 jackpot on offer in last night’s Lotto draw, Monday’s jackpot is now set to roll towards an estimated €4.5million.
