REVEALED: Where the €11 million Lotto ticket was won last night as shop says it's 'still sinking in'
The location where last night's winning Lotto ticket has been revealed, with the owner of the shop that sold it saying, "It's still sinking in."
It appears Mayo may have a new millionaire, after the winner scooped a whopping €11,101,286 in the jackpot.
The player is also the first jackpot winner of 2026, but is yet to be named.
The winning numbers from Wednesday night’s draw were 19, 20, 22, 25, 28, 43, and the bonus number was 1.
The National Lottery has today revealed that the winning ticket was purchased at Kelly’s Mace at the Circle K Service Station on the Mulranny Road in Newport.

"It's only sinking in at this stage. There wasn't much sleep last night," shop owner, Michael Kelly, told RTÉ this morning.
He says there's great excitement between locals and staff in the shop, and he expects customers will be "thrilled" once news spreads.
"Our store has been here for 30 years, so it’s great news for the community. We’re located right on the Greenway here in Newport, kept busy with both locals and people travelling through," Michael said.
Ireland’s newest multi-millionaire has since made contact with the National Lottery and arrangements are now being made for them to collect their prize.
