National Lottery spokesperson Sarah Orr said: “I imagine there are big celebrations taking place in Leitrim today after one player took the title of Ireland’s newest millionaire. September promises to be a big month for our players with €1 million guaranteed to be won in four draws across the month. The September 6th draw was the first draw of the ‘4 more millionaires’ promotion with a special Ireland Only Raffle. This resulted in a Leitrim player scooping €1,005,000 in the raffle, instead of the usual €5,000 for the prize tier. We are advising all of our players in Leitrim to carefully check their tickets today for the Raffle code I-RCJ-65292 as that is the ticket worth a life-changing amount. The winner should make contact with our prize claims team who will make arrangements for them to visit our Winners Room and collect the incredible amount.”
