A shop in Limerick city has been named as the seller of a winning Lotto ticket worth €2.9 million.
It emerged on Thursday that Coughlan’s Gala store on Quinlan Street had sold the lucky ticket for Wednesday night’s €2,951,364 jackpot.
Sean Coughlan, who owns the shop, said it was the first time his store had sold a winning ticket.
“Speculation is rife” as to who the winner might be, he said. “We have a lot of offices on our street so maybe it’s a work syndicate.”
The National Lottery is advising players to check their tickets. If a player finds they have the winning ticket, they should sign the back of it and contact the claims team on 01 836 4444.
The winning numbers were: 01, 04, 05, 06, 18, 47 and bonus number 35.
