Two Lotto players in one county each win €500k in less than a week

Two Lotto players have scooped half-a-million euro each in less than a week, as they won the top prize in the EuroMillions Plus draw this Tuesday.

EuroMillions Plus players in Co Wicklow are having a week to remember, with two players winning the top prize of €500,000 in less than 7 days.

Tuesday night’s draw saw a player in the Bray area win the massive amount after purchasing their Quick Pick ticket on the day of the draw at Circle K Bray South on the Dublin Road.  

The Tuesday night win comes just days after an online player in Wicklow got their weekend off to a celebratory start, after scooping the same prize in Friday’s EuroMillions Plus draw.    

A National Lottery spokesperson said: “EuroMillions players in Co Wicklow are certainly on to a good thing with two top prize wins of €500,000 just days apart. We are appealing to all of our players who may have purchased a ticket at the Circle K Bray South to check their tickets carefully today as one player has a prize worth an incredible €500,000 waiting for them.

“Tuesday nights EuroMillions and EuroMillions Plus draws saw over 42,000 players in Ireland win prizes with the Wicklow player taking the title of largest winner in Ireland. There was no winner of the massive jackpot on offer which was worth €106,321,540, which means that this Friday’s jackpot, April 19, is now set to roll towards an estimated €120m."
