The National Lottery
The National Lottery revealed that the winning ticket for the €500,000 won in the EuroMillions Plus draw had been a Quick Pick one.
They further disclosed that it had been purchased on the day of the draw in north Co. Cavan in Cootehill town.
It was bought from the McMullan’s Daybreak service station located on Bridge Street. A spokesperson for the National Lottery said that the year is off to a great start for the players.
It is due to the fact that Limerick, Kerry and Dublin had already seen lottery millionaires in just a span of two weeks.
All EuroMillions lottery players in Cavan were asked to check their tickets to see if they had won the big €500,000 prize.
They were instructed to sign the back of their ticket and get in touch with the claims team of the National Lottery to get their prize.
