Euromillions players across the county are being urged to check their tickets carefully following Tuesday’s draw.
The unclaimed ticket was purchased on the day of the draw in McCanns Centra in Moycullen and will see one lucky person €500,000 richer.
Assistant Manager of McCanns, Aisling Flannery, said she was delighted to get the news that the shop had sold the winning ticket. “We got the call this morning and we’re absolutely delighted! To think someone in our local community could have won is just brilliant. Selling a winning ticket of that value means everything to us. We’re a small run shop, and a staple in the village. We’ve had some nice smaller wins over the years, but this is beyond any of that”, she said.
“This will be the talk of the village and we’ll be expecting lots of our customers over the next few days checking tickets and asking us all sorts of questions! We want to give massive congratulations to the winner and hope they enjoy their lovely prize,” she added.
The winner is being advised to sign the back of their ticket and put it somewhere safe. They should ring the National Lottery prize claims teams on 1800 666 222 or email [email protected] and arrangements will be made for them to claim their prize.
