Westmeath Centra shop sold €1m winning ticket

A Centra shop in Westmeath has been revealed as the winning location for one of the biggest National Lottery prizes won over the weekend.

The €1 million winning Normal Play ticket was sold on the day of the draw at the Centra shop in Millmount, Mullingar.

Area manager Eoin Kennedy was overjoyed to hear that one of their customers had a celebratory start to their weekend: “We were thrilled to get the call over the weekend from the National Lottery,” he said.

“We have lots of customers here in the town so we’re keeping our fingers crossed that someone nearby may have come into some good luck. Friday night certainly is a nice time to win.

“I imagine there must have been great celebrations.

“We have a team of 16 here and as soon as news spreads, we know that there will be lots of excitement around the place. This is also the biggest prize that we have ever sold so it’s double celebrations here.”

On Saturday night, two more National Lottery players had similar luck after winning the top prize of €1 million each in the November 6 Lotto Plus 1 draw.

One of the winners was an online player in Wicklow, who purchased their Quick Pick ticket on the day of the draw.

The other winner purchased their winning Quick Pick ticket, which is now worth €1 million, in Sweeney’s Centra in the Corbalis Shopping Centre in Ratoath, County Meath on the day of the draw.
