A delighted County Donegal woman who won the top prize of €350,000 in the Lotto Plus 1 draw a month ago finally claimed her prize today at National Lottery offices in Dublin.
The lucky lady, who wishes to remain private, purchased her ticket on 13 December 2012 in Mac’s Books & Newsagents, Upper Main Street, Buncrana, Co. Donegal.
But she only finally claimed her prize today – a month after her numbers came up!
She had discovered her good luck just after Christmas after checking her numbers she picked for the December 15 draw.
The winning ticket was a €12 normal play ticket.
She matched all six numbers to win the top prize – the winning numbers were 12, 19, 23, 30, 39 and 43.
Celebrating with a glass of champagne, today’s winner reflected on the news of discovering her win over the Christmas period, “It has been a rollercoaster!”
Tomorrow night’s Lotto jackpot is heading for €7.5 million.
