Over €350k won through new Lotto scratch cards in two counties

Two players in two different counties have claimed €350,000 in prizes across All Cash scratch card Lotto games.

It’s been a week to remember for two individual scratch card players from Cork and Limerick who each made the trip to Lotto HQ to pick up top prize amounts from two different All Cash scratch card games. 

The Cork player won €200,000 on a €10 All Cash Spectacular scratch card, which was purchased at the Centra store in Castlelyons, Co Cork, following a journey that did not go quite to plan. 

“I was completely lost! I must have taken one wrong turn and got myself totally off the beaten track.

“I finally stumbled upon the shop and said to myself sure I might as well buy a scratch card since I’ve never been here before... it was probably the best story to ever come from getting lost. I got some shock when I saw all those zeroes!”  

Meanwhile, another Limerick man who purchased a €7 All Cash Surprise scratch card at The Ambassador Daybreak store in Dooradoyle was over the moon to see the top prize of €150,000 popping up on his ticket.

The new €7 All Cash Surprise scratch card has only been launched and already this Limerick man is one of four top prize winners of €150,000 available in the game.
 
“I get myself one scratch card each every week, it’s my little treat to celebrate the end of a long week. I saw the sign for the new All Cash scratch card in the shop and my curiosity got the better of me. It didn’t take long for me to realise I had won the top prize because my winning number came up on the first panel scratch – I thought that there must have been a mistake.

“Once I called through to the Lottery claims department, it was so matter of fact – I’d won €150,000. It’s just incredible.” 
 
“I’m still trying to get my head around it still really. I haven’t told a soul about it yet, so I’m looking forward to getting down to Limerick with the cheque to surprise my family, of course I’ll be spreading the joy with them and looking after them as much as I can. I’ve already started planning for a nice holiday to let the win soak in properly,” he said.
 
The €7 All Cash Surprise is a brand new scratch card from the National Lottery and for the first time ever in Ireland, it is a scratch card which features a digital game which can be played on a smartphone or desktop computer. In total, the brand-new game features four top prizes of €150,000, of which three remain up for grabs.
