A player in Ireland has become an overnight millionaire after winning a Lotto jackpot exceeding €6 million. The National Lottery announced the prize amount as €6,241,505, but the identity of the winner remains unknown as they have yet to claim their winnings.

The winning numbers drawn for this jackpot were 4, 21, 23, 27, 34, and 38, with a bonus number of 37. The National Lottery reported that over 63,000 players won various prizes in the latest draw, highlighting the excitement surrounding the event.

Among the notable prizes, one player in an undisclosed location matched five numbers along with the bonus number, securing a second-largest prize of €122,669. Additionally, 14 other players each won €1,612 by matching five numbers, while 28 players took home €203 for matching four numbers plus the bonus.

The National Lottery encourages all players to check their tickets and come forward if they suspect they have won a prize. For those who purchased tickets in-store, the best method of verification is to use the National Lottery app, which allows players to scan their tickets. Alternatively, players can return to the shop where they bought their tickets for assistance in scanning.

For those who bought tickets online, different procedures apply. Players wishing to claim a prize exceeding €10,000 need to contact the National Lottery Claims Department at 1800 666 222 between 09:15 and 17:30 from Monday to Friday. Winnings between €100 and €500 will be transferred back to the card linked to the player’s account as an e-payment.

As the mystery winner awaits to step forward and claim their fortune, many in Ireland are reminded of the thrill and potential of participating in the National Lottery.
