Last year's big winner.....Just week's after selling the top prize Millionaire Raffle ticket in January 2023, Centra in Summerhill sold a €4.6m winning Lotto ticket.

Summerhill strikes it lucky.... again!

A lucky National Lottery player who bought their ticket in Centra, Summerhill, scooped €100,000 in the Millionaire Raffle draw on New Year's Eve.

Geoff Scally who owns the Centra Store in Summerhill was delighted to hear the news and shocked to hear that another customer of his Meath store won big in the Millionaire Raffle draw.

“My phone call from the National Lottery on New Year’s Eve is almost becoming a tradition now! Two years ago, one of our customers won the top prize of €1 million in the Millionaire Raffle draw and now here we are and another customer has won big in the same draw with €100,000!

"We are over the moon and what an incredible start to the year for the winner. We have lots of passing trade and locals who come into us daily so we are hoping that the winner checks their ticket soon and realises just how much their ticket is worth.

"When we sold the €1 million Millionaire Raffle ticket two years ago, we had a big Lotto win just a few weeks later so we’re wondering if we’ll be getting another call from the National Lottery again soon!”

The €1,000,000 top prize ticket from the New Year's Eve Millionaire's Raffle was sold in Dublin and altogether there were 8,500 cash prizes up for grabs including six prizes of €100,000, 15 prizes of €10,000, 45 prizes of €5,000, 302 prizes of €1,000 and 8,131 prizes of €500.
