Two Offaly tickets win €26k each in lotto

Two tickets bought in Offaly each won €26,380 in the New Year’s Day lotto draw.

The two Offaly winners were among 28 Match 5 winners nationwide.

The two tickets were purchased as the Corrib Oil Service Station at Cappenale, Birr, and Flynn’s Centra Circle K, Charleville Road, Tullamore.

However, the €19.06m lottery remains up for grabs after the New Year’s Day draw.

As the jackpot is capped, funds that would usually be added to the jackpot were instead distributed to the next prize tier at which there was a winner. Since there was no winner of the Match 5 + Bonus category, the additional funds were added to the next tier with a winner which was the Match 5 prize tier.

The National Lottery are appealing to players to check their tickets carefully and have revealed the selling locations where each of the 28 tickets were purchased.

The 28 largest winners from Saturday night’s draw who all matched five numbers are advised to sign the back of their tickets and to keep them safe. Each of the winners should contact the National Lottery prize claims team on 1800 666 222 or email claims@lottery.ie and arrangements will be made for them to claim their prizes.

The winning numbers from the Saturday, January 1, draw were: 4, 5, 21, 24, 25, 41 and the Bonus was 1.
