The National Lottery have revealed the location of where the massive €1 million Daily Millions ticket was sold and it has an incredible history of winners.
One lucky Irish player scooped the life-changing amount in the Daily Millions 9pm draw on Thursday May 23.
The National Lottery has now revealed that the winning ticket was bought in a Centra store in Rochestown, Cork.
The newest National Lottery millionaire purchased their winning Quick Pick ticket on the day of the draw.
Store manager Kim Hickey was thrilled to hear that one of their customers now has a ticket worth a life-changing amount.
‘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.

Our newest millionaire is a player in Cork who scooped the Daily Million Top Prize of €1million in Thursday night’s 9pm draw.
