After seven months of rolling, the Mayo Lotto Jackpot winner has won EUR19m

One person won the largest Lotto jackpot in Ireland with EUR19.06m by purchasing a Lotto ticket in Mayo.

The winner was matched with six numbers and the 62-draw drought ended without a winner of the jackpot.

One Kilkenny player also won the Lotto Plus 2; 149 players matched five numbers, and each received EUR36,687 in bonus.

Lucky Kilkenny punter won EUR250,000 for his Lotto Plus 2 win. They bought their winning Quick Pick ticket in Kitty’s Cabin, Rose Inn Street, Kilkenny’s heart.

After matching six numbers on Quick Pick tickets, the west of Ireland EUR19m Jackpot winner won the biggest prize in the game.

Because the player matched all six numbers, the ‘Will Be Won‘ mechanism that was introduced to Saturday’s game was not necessary on Saturday night.

For Saturday, 15 January 2023, the winning numbers were 02, 09 and 16, 30, 37, 40, with a bonus of 23.

Saturday night saw a total number of 866,000 winners in Lotto and Lotto Plus draw with great interest in the must-win draw.

According to the National Lottery, it will provide further information on the exact location of the winning ticket over the next few days.

The National Lottery urges players to thoroughly check their tickets. Especially valuable winning tickets holders are encouraged to sign their tickets back and keep them safe.

To claim their prizes, winners of the jackpot or five bonus prizes must contact the prize claims team at 1800 666 222, or email claims@lottery.ie immediately.

Last night was a historic draw in the history and tradition of the National Lottery. A spokesperson for the National Lottery stated that the biggest Lotto jackpot in history has been officially won after rolling for seven incredible months.

The EUR19.06million was won naturally because the winning ticket holder matched all six numbers, so the ‘Will Be Won’ mechanism wasn’t necessary. All Lotto players in Mayo are asked to check their tickets as one player has a ticket that could change your life.

Saturday night’s draw also saw 150 large winners from across the country. Kilkenny player was the first Lotto Plus 2 winner in 2022. He won the top prize of EUR250,000, while 149 players matched five numbers to win the bonus and share nearly EUR5.5 million. Match 5+Bonus Tier winners received the benefit of the prize rolldown from the jackpot. They will now all be eligible to claim EUR36,687 each.
