€2.4 million winning Lotto ticket sold in Donegal

The National Lottery is now encouraging all its Lotto players who bought tickets in Donegal to check their tickets to see if they have won this life-changing prize.

This latest Lotto win is the 9th jackpot win so far in 2020 with almost €44 million won in jackpot prizes alone. It’s also the second time in a week the Lotto jackpot prize has been won, after a prize worth €7.3 million was won in Galway.

The winning Lotto numbers (Saturday 23rd August) are: 04, 05, 12, 15, 16, 31 and the Bonus number is: 23.

This is the 91st Lotto jackpot to be won in Donegal since the Lotto game began in 1988. These 91 jackpots totalled are worth in excess of €118.5 million.

A National Lottery spokesperson said it will reveal the name of the winning store in the coming days.

At the moment they are not releasing the name of the store the winning ticket was bought in, as a mark of respect to the Mullan family. John, Tomás and Amelia Mullan, from Moville passed away on Friday in a road tragedy at Quigley’s Point. Geraldine Mullan, John’s wife and Tomas and Amelia’s mother, survived the tragedy. They will be laid to rest tomorrow, Monday.

A spokesperson for the National Lottery said: “Last week’s devastating tragedy truly puts the trivial aspects of our everyday lives into real perspective. Out of respect to the Mullán family and to the wider community in Donegal, we will not be announcing any further details on the winning location of last Saturday’s €2.4 million Lotto jackpot win in the county until it is appropriate to do so. For the time being, we are asking all of our Donegal players to check their tickets carefully and if you are the winner to contact us on 1800 666 222 or email [email protected]”
