Shop owner Lorraine O’Connor Carey expressed her delight, saying: “Our shop has been a cornerstone in Belmullet for over 40 years, and we’ve had our fair share of National Lottery wins. We were due a big win, so I wasn’t entirely shocked when I got the call.

“We have many regular local customers, so it’s exciting to think one of them could have had a life-changing win. We hope they’re already celebrating their incredible news—it’s a fantastic way to start the new year.”

The Mayo winner becomes the 11th Lotto Jackpot winner of 2024, joining others from Dublin (five), Limerick (two), Louth, Wexford, and Galway.

This latest win follows another significant prize for Mayo earlier this month when a player claimed the €500,000 EuroMillions Plus top prize.
