Kildare Lotto player celebrates Saturday night win of more than €123,800
The public is reminded to play National Lottery games responsibly
One lucky Kildare Lotto player residing in County Kildare has nabbed a cash prize of more than €123,800.
According to a spokesperson for The National Lottery, the player had the matching five numbers and the bonus in Saturday’s draw (17, 21, 33, 35, 38, 47 and bonus number 13), which has now landed them with an impressive €123,836.
The winner scooped up their Match 5 + Bonus Prize after purchasing their ticket online on the day of the draw.
“The National Lottery has confirmed that an email has been sent to the Kildare online player encouraging them to check their account,” the spokesperson added. “The winner should make contact with the Prize Claims team on 1800 666 222 or email [email protected], and arrangements will be made for them to visit Lottery Headquarters to collect their prize.”
Moreover, the organisation’s communications executive, Sarah Orr, said: “Over 77,000 players all over Ireland won prizes across the Lotto and Plus draws on Saturday night.”
“We are encouraging all of our online players in Kildare to check their accounts very carefully today as one person now has a Match 5+Bonus prize waiting to be claimed,” Ms Orr added.
As there was no winner of the €3,347,532 jackpot on offer in the weekend draw, Wednesday’s Lotto jackpot is now set to roll towards an estimated €3.8 million.
The National Lottery has asserted that nearly 30 cent in every €1 spent on National Lottery games goes back to good causes in the areas of sport, youth, health, welfare, education, arts, heritage and the Irish Language.
It also said that, in total, €7 billion has been raised for good causes since The National Lottery first began 39 years ago.
