The National Lottery have confirmed that one of the two winning National Lottery jackpot tickets was sold in Tuthill’s store in Golden Island Shopping Centre.
The winning player will receive the monetary prize of €6,373,878 and has made contact with National Lottery headquarters to claim the life-changing sum.
Speaking on Tuesday, Joe Callinan, Tuthill’s store manager, admitted that the news came as a huge surprise.
“It was some shock to receive the call from the National Lottery, I definitely wasn’t expecting that! We had a few customers in this morning talking about a Westmeath winner of the Lotto but little did we know that we sold the winning ticket.
“Back in November, we sold a €500,000 ticket in the EuroMillions Plus draw so it’s great to have another big winner so soon after, especially a jackpot win at that! There I was thinking it would be a quiet day today, but it will be a day of celebrating instead. The team here will all be thrilled when they hear that we sold a winning ticket. I hope the winner is delighted and enjoys their huge win,” he said.
