REVEALED: Athlone store where €1m lotto ticket sold

The Corrib Oil Service Station on the Ballymahon Road in Athlone has been named as the selling location of Wednesday’s winning Lotto ticket worth €1 million.

The winner became the 6th National Lottery millionaire of 2026 after purchasing their winning Quick Pick ticket on the day of the draw at the service station store to scoop the top prize in Wednesday's Lotto Plus 1 draw.

Gillian Morris, Head of Retail at Corrib Oil, was delighted to hear the good news: “What a Wednesday it turned out to be for one of our customers in Athlone. It must be quite the feeling waking up and realising that you have a Lotto ticket worth €1 million! Our service station on the Ballymahon Road is a busy location so we have been telling all of our customers to check their tickets very carefully. Here’s hoping the winner has since checked their ticket and realises just how much they have won. As this is the biggest win that the store has ever had, our store manager Áine and the entire team were all thrilled to hear the news. We all wish the winner the very best with their win!”

The National Lottery is continuing to appeal to local players to check their tickets very carefully from the midweek draw as one person now has a ticket worth €1 million. The winner is advised to sign the back of their ticket and keep it safe.

They should make contact with the Prize Claims team on 1800 666 222 or email claims@lottery.ie and arrangements will be made for them to collect their top prize amount at Lottery Headquarters.
