REVEALED: County where last night's €5.4m Lotto jackpot winning ticket was sold

A Lotto player in Mayo won last night's €5.4m jackpot, the National Lottery has revealed.

It was a massive night of wins but one Mayo player was the luckiest of them all as they scooped the €5,419,866 million jackpot in Saturday night’s Lotto draw. The exact location of the shop that sold the ticket has not yet been revealed.

The Mayo winner becomes the 11th Lotto Jackpot winner of 2024, joining the ranks of ten other big winners from across the country, including Dublin (5), Limerick (2), Louth, Wexford, and most recently, Galway. This latest win also makes the Mayo player the 35th National Lottery millionaire of 2024.

The winning numbers in last night’s (Saturday 28th December) main Lotto draw were: 2, 4, 5, 10, 16, 17 and the Bonus was 23.

Meanwhile, two Dublin players walked away with €40,341 each after both matching five numbers plus the bonus.

The National Lottery has confirmed that the store location where the winning ticket was purchased will be announced on Monday, December 30.
