A player from Sligo who won the €350,000 Lotto Plus 1 top prize on Wednesday 29th April has come forward to collect his prize from National Lottery headquarters in Dublin. The lucky ticket holder, who is keeping his identity private, told the Sligo Champion: “I couldn’t believe it when I saw I had the six numbers. I’ve no big plans - I’ll put the cheque in the bank… I’ll not go mad!”
Anyone who wins £3 million on Wednesday’s Irish Lotto draw might feel they are entitled to go a little bit mad and make a few purchases that have previously been off limits, but to be in with a chance you will have to buy a ticket. Entries can be made online or by visiting an authorised retailer in Ireland, so make sure to get involved and have fun.
