Three Multi-Million Lottery Jackpots Won

It’s been a lucky week for lottery players with multi-million jackpots won in the Irish Lotto, EuroMillions and Lotto Max draws.

Irish Success

The lottery successes began on Saturday January 15. A single ticket won the €19 million Irish Lotto jackpot. There had been no winner of the top prize since last June. The rules were changed to allow a must-be-won draw to take place.

The jackpot winner has claimed their winnings, the highest ever prize in this lottery. It was the Laura XL store in Castlebar, Co Mayo that sold the winning ticket. Owner Laura Scriney told how she was just getting ready to close her shop for the day when a National Lottery representative arrived.

“I didn’t know what was going on at first,” said the surprised store owner. Then she was told her shop had sold the winning lottery ticket. “I never expected it would be here. It’s so great,” she said.

Another win for France

Tuesday’s EuroMillions draw saw a ticket sold in France win the €67.4 million jackpot. This continues the great run that France is having in the EuroMillions draw. The last three jackpot winning tickets have been sold in that country and five of the last six.

Since last October, over €500 million in jackpot prizes has been won by French ticket holders. They now have a total of 117 EuroMillions jackpot wins, three more than the UK. Will their lucky streak continue in the €130 million EuroMillions Superdraw taking place on February 5?

The winning numbers in Tuesday’s draw were: 03, 12, 19, 24, 30 and the Lucky Stars: 2 and 5. With numbers like that, it’s possible the winner used birthdays or anniversaries for their selection.

Ontario wins again

The same evening there was another lottery jackpot won.  One ticket won the $22 million Lotto Max top prize. The winning ticket was sold online but we do know the lucky winner(s) are from Ontario.  That’s proving to be a great area to buy tickets in. Last month a player from Brampton in Ontario landed a $70 million Lotto Max jackpot.
