The Convoy shopkeeper who sold the winning €2.5M lotto ticket said she hopes the winner is a local person.
Last night Donegal Daily revealed that the winning ticket had been sold in the East Donegal village.
And this morning the identity of the winning store is revealed – Harris’ Service Station in Townspark.
Owner of the winning store, Evelyn Harris was overjoyed by the news once she was informed of the win by the National Lottery late last night.
She said that she has always promised her customers a Lotto win and is overjoyed to see her dream come true for one of her lucky customers.
She said: “This is huge for the village of Convoy and I know that we’re going to be talking about this Lotto win for many years to come. Any of our customers will tell you that I am absolutely stone mad but I have been promising them that I would deliver a Lotto win to the town and it’s finally happened!
“Every time I sell a Lotto ticket to one of my customers, I wish them an extra little bit of luck and some of them even tell me that they’ll bring me on holidays if they won the jackpot! Who knows, I might have to pack my suitcases in the next few days if it is a local winner!”
She added this is an incredible community and that they are delighted to be in business in the village for the past 18 years.
She said “The vast majority of our customers are from the local community so we are going to thoroughly the celebrations today and whoever the winner is, I know this entire village will be 100% supportive of them with this life-changing win. We certainly wish them every bit of health and happiness for many years to come.”
The National Lottery has also confirmed that the Donegal player who scooped the €2.48 million Lotto jackpot on Saturday night has made contact and arrangements are now being made for their prize to be paid.
