A Lotto player has become an overnight millionaire after scooping the top prize in last night's draw. 

Saturday's (September 17) big winner has officially become the 28th millionaire made through National Lottery games in 2022. 

The winning numbers in the Lotto Plus 1 draw were: 06, 10, 14, 21, 26, 37 and the bonus was 27. 

The National Lottery has confirmed that it will reveal the winning store location in the coming days. 

While there was no winner of last night’s €6.7 million jackpot prize, over 102,000 players won prizes, with next Wednesday’s Lotto jackpot now set to roll to an estimated €7 million. 

Saturday night’s big Lotto winner wasn’t the only big lottery win over the weekend; on Friday night (September 16), another EuroMillions player in Ireland won the top prize of €500,000 in the EuroMillions Plus draw.

The winning Normal Play ticket was sold on the 25th of August at Caulfield’s SuperValu store in Loughboy, on the outskirts of Kilkenny city.
