It has emerged that the winning ticket for the lotto jackpot last night worth €10.2m was sold in Co Kildare.

It was bought at Jordan's Centra in Curragh Grange yesterday.

The store manager, John Murray, has confirmed it was not a Quickpick.

But he says while nobody knows who the ticket holder is, but there are plenty of theories.

The winning numbers are 9, 10,18, 20, 24, 26 and the bonus number was 35.

The draw was initially postponed after a newly installed ticket network crashed.

The new franchise owner, Premier Lotteries Ireland, has blamed a Europe-wide telecoms outage on the problem.
