Double the luck as two people €1 million on winning tickets sold in National Lottery
Nearly 30 cent in every €1 spent on National Lottery games goes back to Good Causes.
The National Lottery has revealed the lucky winners of the two winning tickets from Friday night’s, November 22, special EuroMillions Raffle draw, which were worth €1 million each.
It is confirmed that both winners, from Dublin and Kerry, have made contact, and arrangements are currently being made for them to claim their prizes.
One of the successful tickets was purchased at the Day-Today store Ongar in Dublin 15.
PJ Delaney, store owner of Day-Today, was thrilled to hear that his store had sold their largest winning ticket yet, “It was some shock getting the call from the National Lottery - I wasn’t expecting it!
"This is the largest win we’ve ever had in store, the highest was a €40,000 scratch card win, so I’m delighted that we can be part of the big celebrations. The team here will all be thrilled when they hear that we sold a winning ticket. I hope the winner is delighted and enjoys their huge win,” he added.
Meanwhile, the Kerry player who also won their life-changing €1,000,000 prize, purchased their ticket at Nolan’s Garage Londis, Tralee, Co. Kerry.
Third generation store owner, Mark Nolan, admitted that the news came as a surprise, “It’s always a great surprise to get a call from the National Lottery to hear that someone who bought a ticket from our store has won such a prize,
"In 2013, we sold a winning ticket worth €4 million, and there was great excitement around the shop and town, so I can imagine it’ll be the same for the rest of the week. It’s a great Christmas present for one of our customers, I’m sure they’ll enjoy the celebrations. My only regret is that I didn’t buy a ticket myself!” he laughed.
The EuroMillions Raffle draw guaranteed that 100 EuroMillions players across all nine participating countries would each win one of the €1 million raffle prizes.
Nearly 30 cent in every €1 spent on National Lottery 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 €6.5 billion has been raised for Good Causes since the National Lottery was established 37 years ago. In 2023 alone €227.9m million was raised for local Good Causes in communities across Ireland.
