LOTTO players in Quin were anxiously checking their numbers at the weekend as news broke that the € 5.5m jackpot ticket was sold in Corbett’s shop in the village.
The winning ticket, which was worth € 5,553,404 was a € 4 Quick Pick purchased on Saturday.
As of Monday night there was no confirmation of Saturday’s lucky winner with locals only speculating about the winner.
“The pubs are buzzing with who might have won it. I’ve heard three names already,” a local told The Clare People on monday afternoon.
This is the second big win in the county in three months. In August, a Lotto jackpot worth more than € 6 million was won by a Limerick woman who also bought a € 4 Quick Pick at Kennedy’s Centra, Lahinch.
In May 2012, Liddy’s Costcutters, Roslevan, Ennis, sold a € 2.6 million ticket.
