The shop that sold last Saturday’s Lotto jackpot winning ticket has been revealed.
One lucky player in Dublin became more than €8.7m richer on Saturday night, becoming the second jackpot winner of 2026.
The winning Quick Pick ticket was bought at Applegreen Ballymount on Ballymount Avenue and was purchased on the day of the draw, Saturday, May 2.
Tom Hevey, the site director at Applegreen Ballymount, said the team at the shop were delighted with the good news.
“Getting a call from the National Lottery to say that our store sold a Lotto jackpot ticket worth over €8.7 million was the best way to get the week started,” he said.
“The entire team in-store were absolutely thrilled to hear that one of our customers spent the bank holiday weekend becoming a Lotto jackpot millionaire.
“Applegreen Ballymount is a busy location with local and passing trade, so we hope that the winner checks their ticket soon – we wish them all the very best with their huge win.”
The winner of Saturday’s jackpot has still yet to come forward and claim their prize.
National Lottery spokesperson Sarah Orr advised players to check their tickets carefully.
“Imagine having a Lotto ticket worth a staggering €8,726,418 and not realising just how much it’s worth.
“Right now, that’s the reality of one person who purchased their winning Quick Pick ticket on the day of the draw at Applegreen Ballymount in the M50 Business Park in Dublin 12.
“We are urging all of our players who may have popped into Applegreen Ballymount on Saturday 2nd May and purchased their Lotto ticket, to carefully check their tickets today as one person has a prize worth over €8.7m waiting for them.
“The winner should sign the back of their ticket and contact our prize claims team as soon as possible.”
