Owner of the winning store, Gerry Doherty was in a celebratory mood when he got word of his store’s big win on Saturday night.

He said: “Genuinely, we are all delighted up here knowing that one of our customers has won this prize. The store and the whole town has been buzzing this weekend with the incredible weather and we’re absolutely made up that this customer is now a quarter of a million euro richer.

"I am lucky to have such an amazing group of staff in the store so I’ll be putting my own lottery bonus payment towards a nice staff party and we too can celebrate our customer's good fortune,” he said.

There was no winner of the massive Lotto jackpot which was worth an incredible €9,753,814. Wednesday’s jackpot is now set to roll to an estimated €10 million.

With over 113,000 winners in Saturday’s Lotto and Lotto Plus draws, the National Lottery is urging players nationwide to check their tickets very carefully.

The Moville ticketholder is advised to sign the back of their winning ticket and to keep it safe. The winner should make contact with the National Lottery prize claims team on 1800 666 222 or email claims@lottery.ie and arrangements will be made for them to claim their prize.
