It could be you… especially if you live in Callan!
A EuroMillions player in Callan, Co. Kilkenny is €97,604 better off after matching five numbers on last night’s EuroMillions draw on Friday night.
The National Lottery has appealed for its players in Callan, Co. Kilkenny to check their tickets as this winning Quick Pick ticket was sold in Glynn’s Daybreak store in Friary Walk Retail Park, Callan, Co Kilkenny.
The winning numbers from the main EuroMillions draw were: 03, 10, 17, 33 and 39 and the lucky star numbers were: 01 and 04.
Speaking on selling the winning ticket, Michael Glynn, owner of Glynn’s Daybreak said: “We’re absolutely delighted. It was a nice surprise to get the call from the National Lottery this morning as it’s our first major winner in the store! It’s a nice bit of news for the town too and hopefully, as most of our trade is from local people these days with people shopping closer to home, the winner is someone from Callan.”
With more than 51,000 winners in last night’s EuroMillions draws, the National Lottery has appealed to all of its players to check their tickets, particularly in Kilkenny where this ticket was old. There was no winner of the €53,434,751 EuroMillions jackpot.
