Winning Delvin lotto ticket could be passing customer

There is great excitement in Delvin this week as a ticket sold in Daybreak scooped a massive €516,688 for a lucky player - just on time for Christmas!

The National Lottery today appealed to players in the region to check their tickets to see if they matched five numbers plus the bonus to claim this incredible prize.  This is the largest ever prize payout for matching five numbers plus the bonus in the history of the Lotto game.
 
The winning ticket was sold in Daybreak store on the N52 (Delvin-Clonmellon Road) at Moyleroe, Delvin. The winning numbers are 1, 19, 20,  29, 31, 44 and bonus number 11.
 
A delighted shop co-owner, Sarah Orme, said today there is huge excitement as news of the big win spread.
 
“We got the call from the National Lottery last night that we had sold a big winning ticket and as soon as we put it up on Facebook the place started buzzing! Customers coming into the shop today are full of chat and banter and speculation about who the lucky winner might be! Today is mart day in Devlin so anybody spending big on cattle will be fingered as the one with the lucky numbers!”
 
Sarah, who co owns the shop with Paul Williams, said they hope the winner is a local but the shop and service station is located on the main N52 between Mullingar and Kells “so with a lot of passing traffic it could be anyone.”
