A New Millionaire from Co Laois
A lucky Lotto player from County Laois has recently become Ireland’s newest millionaire after securing the top prize in the Daily Millions draw. This impressive win marks a significant moment for the local community and highlights the potential of lottery games to change lives.
The top prize of €1 million was claimed on Friday, July 18, at 9pm. This is the fifth time this year that someone has won the million euro prize, showcasing the growing popularity and success of the Daily Millions game. The winner purchased a Quick Pick ticket on the day of the draw, which means they didn’t select their own numbers, leaving the choice entirely to the machine.
The winning numbers for the 9pm Daily Millions draw on July 18 were:
- 9
- 20
- 25
- 33
- 37
- 39
The bonus number was 29. These numbers have now made one individual from Co Laois incredibly wealthy.
The National Lottery has announced that they will reveal the winning store on Tuesday, July 22. This information is crucial for those who might have purchased tickets at the same location, as it could help identify the winner or confirm if they are holding a winning ticket.
Darragh O’Dwyer, a spokesperson for the National Lottery, expressed his excitement about the win. “What fantastic news to wake up to, with another substantial win for one Daily Million player – a huge congratulations to our winner in Laois,” he said. He also encouraged all players to check their tickets carefully, emphasizing that anyone could be the next big winner.
This win comes just days after several other notable prizes were claimed in different parts of the country. It’s the third major prize awarded in Lotto draws this week, with two of these wins occurring in Galway within 24 hours of each other.
On Tuesday, July 15, a player from An Ceathrú Rua won over €600,000 in the EuroMillions Plus draw. Just a day later, a Circle K in Newcastle secured a Lotto Plus 2 prize, making the winner €250,000 wealthier.
These recent wins highlight the ongoing success of the National Lottery and its ability to provide life-changing opportunities for players across Ireland. Whether through the Daily Millions, EuroMillions Plus, or Lotto Plus 2, the chance to win big continues to attract participants from all walks of life.
As more people take part in these draws, the possibility of another unexpected winner increases. For now, the focus remains on the latest winner from Co Laois, whose story serves as a reminder of the power of luck and the potential for fortune to strike at any moment.
