Saturday’s winning €14m Lotto ticket was bought in Dublin, National Lottery chiefs have revealed.
There was one winner of the Lotto jackpot worth over €14.6 million, the seventh biggest win ever in Ireland.
The winning numbers drawn were 3, 8, 10, 24, 32, 41 and the bonus number was 30.
The total jackpot was €14,674,966.
It is the first jackpot win of 2024 and the first Lotto jackpot win since October when two people in Dublin shared a €7.7m prize.
In an update on Sunday afternoon, the National Lottery said the winning ticket was bought online in Dublin and urged players to check their numbers.
“The National Lottery are urging online players in the Capital to carefully check their online accounts as one player now has a ticket worth an incredible amount waiting to be claimed,” the National Lottery said.
“A notification and an email has been sent to the jackpot winner who is advised to make contact with the prize claims team on 1800 666 222 or email [email protected] and arrangements will be made for them to visit Lotto HQ to collect the massive amount.”
It is the seventh biggest jackpot win since the game started more than 36 years ago.
The €14,674,966 jackpot was also the highest amount won in two years since the €19.06 million Will Be Won draw which took place in January 2022.
A National Lottery spokesperson said: “It’s sure to be a weekend of celebrations for an online player in Dublin who has become the first Lotto jackpot winner of 2024. Not only that but the €14.67 million winner has also taken a list of titles with their massive win including highest online Lotto jackpot winner and 7th highest jackpot winner since the game began. It is undoubtedly life-changing and of course shocking for the winner who will see the winning amount on their ticket when they log into their National Lottery account. As Ireland’s newest multi-millionaire, we are advising the winner to make contact with our prize claims team as soon as possible and we will make arrangements for them to visit the Winners Room to collect their cheque.”
The National Lottery added that nearly 30 cent in every €1 spent on its games goes back to good causes in the areas of sport, youth, health, welfare, education, arts, heritage and the Irish Language.
“In total, more than €6 billion has been raised for Good Causes since the National Lottery was established 36 years ago. In 2022 alone, €259.5 million was raised for local Good Causes in communities across Ireland,” it said.
