Mayo family collect €1 million prize from Lotto HQ

THREE separate National Lottery players from Dublin, Mayo and Waterford are celebrating after they left Lotto HQ in Dublin with life-changing prizes worth over €6.8 million in total.

A delighted family syndicate from Mayo arrived to claim the top prize amount of €1 million which they won in the 2 p.m. Daily Million draw on March 1. Their winning ticket, which they have been eager to travel to Dublin with, was purchased in the Corrib Oil service station in Westport.

The family have been busy discussing how to spend the life-changing amount: “We all have our own plans for exactly how we’ll spend our share of the win but one thing is for certain, we’ll all be enjoying the unexpected windfall!

“It really will make a huge difference as the win will go towards home deposits, some renovations and new cars. But the first thing on the list that we’re all looking forward to is a sun holiday - a nice way to celebrate indeed!”

The biggest winner to set foot into the winners' room was the Dublin jackpot winner who scooped €5,365,262 in the March 12 draw.
