Cork Lotto player scoops €3.6m in latest draw

A Cork-based Lotto player has been advised to contact the National Lottery prize claims team after winning more than €3.6m in the latest draw.

The National Lottery announced that following Wednesday night’s draw, an online lotto player from Cork won €3,641,884 after purchasing a Quick Pick ticket on Tuesday.

The winning numbers were 02, 13, 37, 38, 41, 46, and the bonus was 18.

The Cork player has become the 6th Lotto jackpot winner of the year-to-date following wins by players in Mayo, Dublin, and Offaly.

The National Lottery has confirmed that an email has been sent to the winner advising them to check their account.

Wednesday night’s draw also marked the final farewell to Lotto numbers 46 and 47.

From Saturday, a new Lotto chapter begins, with 45 balls now in the drum.

National Lottery spokesperson, Sarah Orr said while Wednesday night’s Lotto draw marked “a milestone moment for the game with 46 and 47 now officially retiring from the game, it was a truly significant night for one Rebel County player”.

“The midweek draw saw an online player in Cork win the jackpot which was worth an incredible €3,641,884,” said Ms Orr.

“We are encouraging all of our online players in Cork to carefully check their accounts today as one person now has a jackpot amount waiting to be claimed.” 

The Cork-based winner is now advised to contact the prize claims team on 1800 666 222 or email claims@lottery.ie to make arrangements to visit Lottery Headquarters to collect their prize.
