"After having a big Lotto jackpot win just over two years ago in our store, I never thought we’d have another but especially not so soon after – I am absolutely thrilled," said shop owner Michael Blanchfield.

"This really is great news for the community as we’re a busy store so I’m sure as soon as the news goes out, there will be great excitement around the place.

"I imagine we will see lots of our customers eager to check their tickets and wondering if they’re the big winner.

"There’s a Mooncoin player out there with a ticket worth over €8.5 million – let’s hope they check their numbers soon!"
