Recent Historic Wins in Irish Lotto

This latest draw follows a remarkable event earlier this month when a family from Mayo made history by claiming the third-highest jackpot in Irish Lotto history, amounting to €17,008,295. This life-changing sum was won on August 27, 2023, after the ticket was purchased online for the Wednesday night draw.

The family, who chose to keep their identities private, expressed their disbelief upon winning. “I wish I could say that the news has sunk in by now,” they shared, reflecting on the surreal nature of their win. “We’re all in shock and you’d think sitting in the Winners Room would help, but we just can’t believe it.”

Upon receiving the notification of their win, the family recalled being together when they checked their account. “You always imagine that you’ll be jumping up and down, but we sat in silence and total disbelief,” they said, emphasizing the unexpected nature of the experience.

The family’s success has sparked excitement among players, highlighting the potential for life-altering wins in the Irish Lotto. As the current jackpot continues to grow, interest in the game remains high.
