Wednesday win as Athlone lotto player scoops prize of €250,000

A lotto player in Westmeath had a night to remember on Wednesday after winning the top prize of €250,000 in the Lotto Plus 2 draw.

The winning ticket was purchased on Tuesday of this week, March 10,  at Circle K on the Dublin Road in Athlone.

The winning numbers for the Wednesday,  March 11, draw were: 06, 20, 22, 29, 30, 32 and the bonus was 15.

The Westmeath winner is advised to sign the back of their ticket and keep it safe.

They should contact the Prize Claims team on 1800 666 222 or email: claims@lottery.ie and arrangements will be made for them to visit Lottery headquarters to collect their prize.

As there was no winner of the €2,987,349 jackpot on offer in last night night’s main draw, Saturday’s jackpot is now set to roll towards an estimated €3.5 million.

The National Lottery has also confirmed that €1 million is guaranteed to be won in a special Lotto Plus Raffle event on Saturday night.

The Lotto Plus Raffle typically sees between 60 and 120 winners of €500 in every draw but, for this Saturday’s draw, the National Lottery is adding a guaranteed-to-be won €1 million to the Lotto Plus Raffle prize fund.

Each of the tickets with the winning Lotto Plus Raffle number drawn in Saturday night’s draw will be entered into a once-off draw, where one ticket will be selected to win an additional prize of €1 million, as well as the usual €500 Raffle prize.
