“Ireland’s newest millionaire has officially become the 21st National Lottery millionaire of 2023.
The National Lottery has confirmed the winner has made contact and arrangements are now being made for them to collect their life-changing prize.
Officials from the National Lottery will visit the winning store this Tuesday where there will be big celebrations and plenty of champagne corks being popped.
This is the second big Lotto win for the town in a year with Sloane's newsagents, on Avenue Road in Dundalk selling a Lotto Plus 1 winning ticket worth €1,000,000 last September to an anonymous local winner.
This latest win is also the third time the Lotto Jackpot has been scooped in just four weeks following wins in Balbriggan, Dublin on July 8 when a player won €3,931,066 and Donegal and Westmeath where two players shared the jackpot to take home €6,373,878 each in the draw on Saturday, June 17.
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.
