A spokesperson said the name of shop the winning ticket was sold in will be revealed soon.

“With a jackpot win of this amount, it is important that we take some time to inform the winning retailer and of course to give the winning ticketholder the time and space they need to let this amazing win to sink in,” they said. “We will be announcing the winning store in the coming days.”

“We encourage all of our Lotto players who purchased a ticket for Saturday’s Lotto draw to check their tickets carefully.”

Three players, in Carlow, Dublin and Galway, fell one number short of the jackpot and will share a runners-up prize of €109,359.

The jackpot was the fourth to be won this year.

Meanwhile, the National Lottery has extended the time period for claiming prizes “to encourage people to stay at home and not require them to make any unnecessary journeys during the current public health emergency.”
