FRESH from celebrating selling a €2.4 million Lotto jackpot, a service station in Convoy is celebrating again following another substantial win.
The lucky player came to within one number of winning the jackpot prize, instead winning the Match 5 + Bonus prize of €57,263.
Evelyn Harris, owner of the lucky Convoy Service Station, said, “The whole family were sat in the sitting room when we got the call from the National Lottery on Saturday night and it’s fair to say that we are still in a state of absolute shock.
“We have been absolutely buzzing since we celebrated the €2.4 million during the week but to get a call a couple of days later to say that we’ve sold another winner really is overwhelming.
“It’s not the amount of the prize that is surprising but to sell a winning ticket so close to the last is just incredible. And this player was so close to hitting the jackpot again within the space of a week. You really couldn’t make this up.”
The winning numbers from Saturday’s Lotto draw are 05, 09, 12, 30, 34, 39 and the bonus was 26.
The win caps an incredible week for Donegal lottery players. Following last week’s €2.4 million Lotto jackpot win, another player in Ballybeg in north west Donegal won the €500,000 EuroMillions Plus priz while last Friday night another player in Ballyshannon almost won €119,361 after they narrowly missed out on the €142 million EuroMillions jackpot.
