We can reveal that the winning Euromillions Plus lotto ticket was bought in Raphoe.
The winning Quick Pick ticket for €500,000 was bought on Tuesday in Barclay’s Shop.
The identity of the winner is not yet known but many believe it is a local person.
The winning numbers on Tuesday night’s Euromillions Plus draw (5th Feb) are: 2, 12, 33, 42 and 44.
Jim Barclay, owner of Barclay’s Newsagents in Raphoe expressed his delight after learning that one of his customers had picked up such a life-changing prize: “We’re absolutely over the moon! We are a small community based shop in the heart of Raphoe Town with a very loyal customer base so we’re just thrilled that one of these people has won the half a million euro prize.”
Jim continued: “We’re just eight miles from the border of Northern Ireland but we get very little passing trade so we are confident that it could be a local customer. The whole town is absolutely buzzing this morning and no doubt that we’ll have a lot of people in the store to check their tickets in the hope that they have won the half a million euro!”
This is the third EuroMillions Plus winning ticket in Ireland so far this year.
