‘We’ve had a couple of big wins in this store,’ she said. ‘History has repeated itself as we already previously sold a Daily Millions Top Prize ticket worth €1million to one of our customers back in 2020 . Two years later, we sold a EuroMillions Plus top prize ticket worth €500,000.

Kim said that she had no idea if the winner was a local or an extremely lucky visitor.

She said: ‘We’re just delighted for whoever it is. Our shop would be very busy with locals, but we would also get a few tourists and visitors passing through at this time of year. It’s great news for the community too and we are all delighted here in store,’ she said. 

The National Lottery revealed that the winner, who has taken the title of sixth Daily Million top prize winner of 2024, has made contact. Arrangements are being made for them to collect their life-changing cheque in Lotto HQ.

Our newest millionaire is a player in Cork who scooped the Daily Million Top Prize of €1million in Thursday night’s 9pm draw. It’s the third time a player has scooped the Daily Milliont top prize of €1million in just five days!
