National Lottery confirms shops where two EuroMillions-winning tickets were sold

The National Lottery has confirmed the locations where Ireland's two newest millionaires picked up their winning tickets.

The EuroMillions Raffle draw guaranteed that 100 EuroMillions players across all nine participating countries, including Ireland, would each win one of the €1 million raffle prizes.

In Donegal, a player purchased their winning Quick Pick ticket worth €1 million on the day of the draw at the Burnfoot Service Station in Grianan Vale, Burnfoot, Co Donegal.

Store owner Mary Tourish has been running the local family-owned store since 2007 and was in complete shock to get the call that her shop had sold the winning ticket.

She said: "I’m still shaking to be honest with you, I just can’t believe it. To think that one of our customers is walking around €1 million richer is just unreal! You start thinking about what an amount like that can do for people and I mean it really would change your life."

Meanwhile, in Meath, a player purchased their winning Quick Pick ticket now worth €1 million in Centra situated in the small village of Nobber, Co Meath.

Rodney Dolan, the store's owner, has been running the shop for the last 15 years.

"I’m looking forward to the flurry of customers checking their tickets over the next couple of days and the big question of course will be, who won it? We wish them the very best of luck and hope that Nobber has a new local millionaire," he said.

The National Lottery has confirmed that it is still waiting for the three winners of the €1 million EuroMillions Raffle prize from last Friday night to make contact.

The winning Irish raffle codes in Friday night’s, February 3, EuroMillions raffle draw were: NTZ-21276 (Online Dublin), I-NVD-35065 (Donegal) and I-NVF-65558 (Meath).

The National Lottery has advised all EuroMillions players in these areas to check their tickets carefully.
