The community of Muff, have been called on to celebrate the latest Lotto win for the town by the winning retailer who sold the Lotto Plus 2 top prize of €250,000 in last night’s Lotto draw.
Kevin Doherty, store owner of the Centra store in the town described the win as a ‘life-changing’ event for the winning ticket holder after storms and floods devastated the area in recent weeks.
He said: “It’s quite an emotional day for us in the store, we’re absolutely over the moon for our customers. Everybody in this part of the country has had to endure a difficult couple of weeks following the recent storms and flooding so this is the good news we all needed this week!
“Can you imagine what €250,000 would mean to a local family who may be rebuilding their lives with the damage caused by the storms – there’s no doubt about it, it’s absolutely life-changing.”
A National Lottery spokesperson today urged players in North East Donegal to check their numbers to see if they are the holders of the lucky ticket.
The numbers are: 09, 10, 25, 33, 45, 46 and the Bonus: 01.
“Today is all about celebrating the winner in the store so the balloons are being blown up and the champagne will be popped. We’re going to celebrate the day with a party for our customers and we’ll certainly be raising a toast to the lucky winner and try to put the last couple of difficult weeks behind us,” he said.
