Limerick lotto player wins over €1m in raffle

Someone in Limerick is waking up €1 million richer after they won in Saturday night’s Lotto Plus Raffle event.

The winning ticket, worth an incredible €1,000,500, was purchased on the day of the draw at Centra, Moore Street, Cappamore, Co. Limerick.

The Lotto Plus Raffle usually sees between 60 and 120 winners of €500 in each draw.

However, Saturday night’s draw included a special event: every ticket with the winning raffle number was entered into a once-off random draw, where one ticket was selected to win an additional €1,000,000.

While all 81 ticketholders with the winning number received the standard €500 prize, one fortunate Limerick player walked away with a life-changing total of €1,000,500.

The winning raffle number was: 3184

Speaking on the win, Store Owner, Mark Lenihan, said: “We’re absolutely delighted – this is huge for us, for the team, and for Cappamore! It’s our first ever big National Lottery win, and to think that a life-changing ticket was sold right here in our store, is just incredible. Massive congratulations to the winner – we’re thrilled for you and wish you all the very best!”
