Staff at Tesco in the Long Walk Shopping Centre in Dundalk were celebrating today after it was announced that their store sold Saturday night’s Lotto jackpot ticket worth €2,418,002.
The National Lottery revealed earlier today that Saturday night’s Lotto jackpot winning ticket was sold at the Tesco supermarket in town.
The National Lottery has confirmed that the Wee County winner has made contact and arrangements are now being made for the €2.4 million winner to collect their life-changing prize.
Paul McGuinness, Store Manager at Tesco Longwalk said: “I’m delighted to hear that one of our Tesco Longwalk customers has won big over the weekend.
“News travelled quick that there might be a winner in the area and there was a great atmosphere with people coming in to check their tickets, hoping to be Louth’s newest millionaire!
“It’s a life-changing amount, huge congrats to the winner!”
Saturday night’s Lotto jackpot winner became the 21st National Lottery millionaire of the year to date as well as the 8th Lotto jackpot winner of 2023 after scooping the life-changing amount of €2,418,002.
Nearly 30 cent in every €1 spent on all National Lottery games goes back to Good Causes in the areas of sport, youth, health, welfare, education, arts, heritage, and the Irish Language.
In total, more than €6 Billion has been raised for Good Causes since the National Lottery was established 35 years ago.
In 2021 alone, €304 million was raised for local Good Causes in communities across Ireland.
