Speaking to the Irish Mirror, delighted owner Will Corrigan said: "It's just a huge boost for the store and for the community as a whole.
"The service station is situated in a very rural part of Carlow between Bagenalstown and Borris so the vast majority of our customers are local.
"We would be absolutely delighted to see one of our neighbours picking up this prize."
He added: "The business itself has been in the family for five generations so to get a massive win like this for the locality is a very proud moment."
The winning Quick Pick ticket was sold at the store on the day of the draw.
