Irish Lotto players are being urged to check their tickets after one lucky punter bagged a life-changing prize in Wednesday night’s draw.<\/p>\n

In total, over 60,000 players won prizes in tonight’s Lotto<\/a> draws, including one punter who matched all six numbers plus the bonus number in the Lotto Plus 1 draw to scoop the \u20ac1 million jackpot.<\/p>\n

The winning numbers in Wednesday’s Lotto Plus 1 draw were 5, 23, 27, 28, 33, 44 and the bonus number was 36.<\/p>\n

The jackpot winner wasn’t the only player to land a huge sum in Wednesday’s Lotto Plus 1 draw, as another punter scooped the Match 5 + Bonus prize worth \u20ac5,000.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, in the main Lotto<\/a> draw, where there was a jackpot worth a whopping \u20ac4.4 million up for grabs, the numbers called were 1, 9, 14, 27, 30, 44 and the bonus number was 18.<\/p>\n

While the jackpot in this draw went unclaimed, 17 players did match five correct numbers to win \u20ac1,264 each.<\/p>\n

And in the Lotto Plus 2 draw, the winning numbers were 8, 12, 20, 31, 43, 47 and the bonus number was 34.<\/p>\n

The \u20ac250,000 top prize on offer in this draw went unclaimed, although 15 players did pocket \u20ac250 each after matching five correct numbers.<\/p>\n

There were also 60 winners of the Raffle Prize, with each player receiving \u20ac500. The winning Raffle number was 3761.<\/p>\n

The National Lottery<\/a> is urging Lotto players across Ireland to check their tickets to see if they are the lucky jackpot winner.<\/p>\n

If you hold a winning ticket that you bought in a shop, you must claim your prize within 90 days of the applicable draw date.<\/p>\n
