Two Irish Lotto players have become millionaires this Easter.
Celebrations may be well underway in Donegal and Dublin this Easter Sunday after two separate players have become brand new millionaires following the weekend National Lottery draws.
A Lotto player in Co Donegal had a life-changing Easter Saturday, after winning €1m in the special Lotto Plus Raffle event.
The Donegal player scooped the prize after purchasing their winning Quick Pick ticket at Doherty’s Centra store in Moville, Co Donegal on Good Friday, March 29.
Meanwhile, another Lotto player, this time in Dublin, has also become an overnight millionaire after they scooped the top prize of €1m in Friday’s 9pm Daily Million draw.
National Lottery spokesperson said: “It has been an incredible Easter weekend for two of our big winners.
“Saturday night’s Lotto and Lotto Plus draws saw over 103,000 players nationwide win prizes.
“We are advising all our players in Donegal to carefully check their tickets today as one player now has a ticket worth €1,000,500. The winner should sign the back of their ticket and keep it safe.
“We are also calling on our online players in Dublin to check their emails because one of these players has an incredibly special notification waiting for them on their online account to inform them that they are a millionaire.”
The Dubliner won the life-changing prize with a €2 Quick Pick ticket, which they purchased online.
The National Lottery has confirmed that a notification and email has been sent to the Dublin winner’s online account.
