Again there was no successful player in the Lotto Plus 2 draw.

However, luck was in the air for one player as they won the Match 5 + Bonus prize of €2,500.

The winning numbers of the Lotto Plus 2 draw were:

05, 23, 27, 39, 40, 45 and the bonus 04.

The news comes after celebrations were in order at the National Lottery HQ on Wednesday as a large family from Kilkenny claimed their massive €8,508,720 jackpot prize making them Ireland's newest multi-millionaires.

The jackpot , which was won on May 7th, was handed over to the ecstatic family, who wished to keep their win private, as they shared their disbelief at winning the life-changing prize.

One of the syndicate members said: "We've actually been quite relaxed about it all, which makes it all the more strange.

"You always think that when you win the Lotto, you will be jumping around and spraying champagne, but we've been quite sensible in the last few weeks and kept our feet firmly on the ground."

The winning Quick Pick was sold on the day of the draw at Blanchfield's Centra store in Mooncoin Co. Kilkenny.

This is the second big Lotto jackpot win at the popular community store after another player won a Lotto jackpot worth over €6.8 million in December 2019.

"It wasn't until three days after the draw that I actually checked my ticket and found out that we'd won the very jackpot prize that everybody in Kilkenny was talking about.

"We are an incredibly level-headed family, and I know that this win won't affect us one bit. It won't change who we are, but it will certainly make things like paying off mortgages and paying bills an awful lot easier."

"It's a huge amount of money, and the plan is to sit tight for the next couple of months before we make any big spending plans. The only real plan for spending at the moment is a local charity who we plan to support as much as we can in the coming months and years," they added.
