Winning Lotto ticket sold in Duleek

The National Lottery has confirmed that Wednesday’s €8.9m Lotto jackpot winning ticket was sold at Lowthe’s Londis in Duleek.

The National Lottery has also confirmed that it is still waiting to hear from the winning ticket holder who has become the 30th National Lottery millionaire of 2022.

The winning normal play ticket was sold on Saturday 1st October.

Store owner Seamus Lowthe was completely shocked to get the call that his store sold the winning life-changing ticket.

“The first thing I did was check my own ticket as I did the Lotto on Wednesday night for the first time in a while. I was in complete shock when the local rep called me the following day to let me know we’d sold the winning ticket. We’re a local family run store, open thirty-eight years and selling the Lotto thirty years and this is our first ever big win. It’s complete magic for us”, he said.

“It’s going to create some buzz and atmosphere around the village over the next couple of days. Everyone will be wondering who won. I hope it’s someone local, it would be great. It’s a class amount, life-changing. I’m absolutely delighted for the winner and I’m delighted for us. We wish them all the very best”, he added

It is not the first time that Duleek has struck it lucky with a family syndicate from Naul, North Co Dublin with connections in Duleek and Bellewstown winning a staggering €175m in the Euromillions draw in February 2019.
