Store Sells Second Irish Lotto Jackpot Winning Ticket

If you’re going to get an Irish Lotto win, a trip to the Centra store in Mooncoin, Kilkenny might do the trick. The Irish store has sold two Lotto jackpot winning tickets in the past couple of years.

The most recent win was in the May 7 Irish Lotto draw. A ticket purchased from the Centra store won an €8,508,720 top prize. It managed to successfully match 01-31-35-39-42-46.  Not a selection that would have been good for anyone using birthday or anniversaries.

It was back in December 2019 that the store sold its other jackpot winning ticket. On that occasion, a player was lucky enough to win justover €6.8 million.

The shop is owned by Michael Blanchfield, with his wife Alice. The husband was delighted to hear another Irish Lotto jackpot winning ticket had been sold by them. “Twice in two and a half years isn’t too bad,” he joked.

Hopefully a local winner

A second jackpot win is something he never thought would happen. Mr Blanchfield knows that it was a Quickpick ticket that had won the May 7 top prize. As to who has purchased the winning ticket, he has no idea. “Hopefully it was one of our local customers who got it,” he commented. He’s expecting lots of his customers coming into his store to check if they might be the jackpot winner.

With the ticket being sold at the weekend, that might not be the case. The shop owner said that there were lots of visitors around at that time as communion was being held.

No one has yet come forward to claim their Irish Lotto jackpot win. The store owner said: “There’s a Mooncoin player out there with a ticket worth over €8.5 million – let’s hope they check their numbers soon!

More luck in Cork

Meanwhile another Centra store, this time in Millstreet Co, Cork, sold a €500,00 winning EuroMillions ticket on Friday May 13. It’s the third big win for a ticket purchased from the shop, including a €9.6 million EuroMillions jackpot win 16 years ago.
