An anonymous couple from Donegal have come forward to claim their €1 million winnings!
It’s after a two-day search for the lucky winners came to an end, after it was announced the winning Lotto Plus raffle ticket was sold at Doherty’s Centra in Moville.
Saturday night’s Lotto draw saw a special Lotto Plus Raffle event guarantee that one player would win a boosted prize fund worth €1 million, in addition to the usual €500 Raffle prize. A Donegal couple were amazed to see their Raffle number announced as the big winner.
“I scanned our ticket on my phone straight after the draw and got the message to contact the National Lottery,” the lucky winners told the National Lottery.
“We could see that our Raffle number was drawn so we knew that we could have at least won €500 but when we saw the shop announcement, we were fairly certain that it had to be us. It’s the first time I have ever said that a long Bank Holiday was too long as we spent it waiting eagerly for the Claims Department to reopen to confirm the win.”
“Easter has been a bit of a blur to be honest as this was in no way how we expected to be spending the past few days. I was terrified to let the ticket out of my sight all weekend so I kept it on me everywhere that I went. We’re still in total shock so we’ll have to let the win sink in before we make our plans.”
A huge congrats to the lucky winning couple from all of us at Donegal Daily.
