Lotto excitement has hit Letterkenny, Co. Donegal after a ticket worth €250,000 was sold in the town. The lucky ticket won the top prize of €250,000 on last night’s Lotto Plus 2 draw.
Last night’s Lotto Plus 2 top prize winner of €250,000 purchased their winning Quick Pick ticket at the Eason’s store in the Letterkenny shopping centre.
This Lotto win is the latest of a number of top prize National Lottery wins to hit the county in the past number of weeks. Just last week, another lucky Euromillions player in the Glenties, Co Donegal scooped a massive €500,000 EuroMillions Plus top prize while in April, another Donegal man, Odhran Doherty won the Lotto Plus 1 top prize of €1 million with a ticket purchased in Raphoe, Co. Donegal.
In February, a EuroMillions Plus top prize of €500,000 was won by 84-year-old retired farmer, Charlie Meehan, from Manorcunningham. Charlie, who decided to go public with his win, revealed he was in recovery from cancer and declared at the time he was going to enjoy his winnings with his family.
