A Co Cork man and his wife had a glass of champagne and toasted “a
very lucky year” at National Lottery offices today as they collected a
cheque for €250,000. The lucky winner, who wishes to remain private,
matched the six numbers in the Lotto Plus 2 draw on Saturday 7
September 2013 to win the quarter of a million euro top prize.
“It’s been a special year for us and this is the icing on the cake,”
said the delighted wife.
The lucky ticket was a €4 Quick Pick purchased in English’s Foodstore,
Main Street, Conna, Co. Cork on the day of the draw, Saturday 7
September 2013.
National Lottery good causes benefit from the sale of all National
Lottery games, with one third of all sales (approx) going to fund
Beneficiary projects around the country, as designated by Government.
In 2012, the National Lottery raised over €225 million for good
causes. This level of funding has made a significant difference to
communities, projects and individuals in the areas of Youth, Sports,
Recreation, Amenities, Health, Welfare, Arts, Culture, National
Heritage and the Irish Language.
