Tipperary Player Claims €1M Lotto Prize, Urgent Jackpot Hits €17M

UPDATE: A Tipperary Lotto player has just claimed an astonishing €1,000,500 prize from the July 5 Lotto Plus Raffle, sending shockwaves through the community. The ticket was purchased at Ely’s Centra in Clerihan, Co. Tipperary, and the excitement is palpable as the winner shares their emotional reaction.

The winner described a moment of sheer panic when he learned he had won. “I saw the news online that the winning ticket was bought where I got mine. I scanned it and panic set in – I didn’t know what to do with myself,” he recalled. Despite a family member’s attempts to calm him down, laughter punctuated his disbelief at the windfall.

Now, the lucky winner has immediate plans to pay off his mortgage and support his loved ones. As an avid sports fan, he looks forward to attending his favorite sporting events, signaling a new chapter in his life thanks to this unexpected fortune.

In a related development, Lotto officials are highlighting that Wednesday’s jackpot is surging towards a life-changing estimated €17 million. This massive amount has been rolling over without a top prize winner since April, making it one of the most anticipated draws in Irish Lotto history.

Only two jackpots exceeding €17 million have ever been won since the Lotto’s inception in 1988. A single winner on Wednesday could become Ireland’s third-largest jackpot winner, adding even more excitement to the draw.

The current jackpot is nearing the cap of €19.06 million, a record set by a family syndicate in Co. Mayo in January 2022. If the jackpot surpasses this amount, the excess funds will be redirected to lower prize tiers until a winner emerges. This means even more chances for players to win as the jackpot approaches its limit.

Stay tuned for the draw on Wednesday, and remember, the next Lotto ticket could change your life! For the latest updates, follow us at the Irish Mirror.
