Lotto results: Life-altering €3 million jackpot up for grabs as Ireland's newest millionaires collect prize

A whopping €3 million top prize was the highlight in Wednesday evening's Lotto draw - with thousands of players looking to match all five numbers to change their life.

Already, the National Lottery has crowned nearly 20 millionaires, with the most recent win coming earlier this month for a Galway syndicate.

On top of that, we've seen EuroMillions victories for punters in Clare and Meath, as well as a couple of Daily Million top prizes be scooped.

Meanwhile, a group of street cleaners have collected a Lotto jackpot which is set to change their lives completely.

The Magnificent Ten syndicate was set up over two decades ago by a group of Galway City Council street cleaners.

They will now split a massive €5,541,001 after winning the Lotto at the start of the month.

All numbers picked for the draw are individual to all the members.

One syndicate member spoke of how they had to keep the belief going after so many years.

They said: "The lads thought about changing the numbers at one stage, but decided against making any changes. Just last Christmas, one member mentioned that he was going to leave the syndicate, but he was persuaded to stay on and was told it was only the price of a pint and a newspaper.

"Luckily, he stayed as the syndicate winning numbers appeared on the August 3rd Lottery draw."

The large syndicate have become Ireland’s 7th Lotto Jackpot of the year. The winning ticket was sold in Newspoint newsagent, Unit 25, Galway Shopping Centre, on the Headford Road on Sunday 31st of July.

"Someone said that we ‘cleaned-up’ and we did, but us lads clean up every day by ensuring the streets and parks in Galway city are spotless. We’re proud of our city. Unlike the ‘magnificent seven’ -these ‘magnificent ten’ can now all ride off into the sunset with their lottery win secured", another syndicate member added.
