Luck finally catches up with Donegal’s newest millionaire as they claim their fortune.
A life-changing sum of one million euro was won in Donegal on the 16th May.
But the Daily Million winner remained a mystery for days!
It has now transpired that, amid all the celebrations at Kelly’s Centra Letterkenny, the winner was none the wiser that it was their ticket!
The winner, who has asked to remain anonymous, said: “I was walking around with the ticket in my pocket for a few days before I even checked it. I had no idea it was a winner and no clue how much it was actually worth. I decided to scan it on the app, not thinking anything of it, and then saw the pop-up message saying ‘Congratulations’. It didn’t say how much I had won so I called the Claims team from there and the rest is history.”
The winner popped into Lotto HQ yesterday afternoon to claim their life-changing sum. The winning ticket was purchased at Kelly’s Centra, Mountain Top in Letterkenny.
Nearly 30 cent in every €1 spent on all 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 Billion has been raised for Good Causes since the National Lottery was established 35 years ago. In 2021 alone, €304 million was raised for local Good Causes in communities across Ireland.
