His business has operated in the heart of Drumshanbo for over two decades. Scollan wished the winner the very best.

We’ve been here in the heart of Drumshanbo for over 20 years and have had some fantastic National Lottery wins along the way, but a Lotto jackpot of over €4.7 million really tops the lot. It’s wonderful to think that one of our customers is holding that winning ticket. There’ll be plenty to celebrate in the shop today.

Updated Rules Improve Jackpot Odds

This major payout marks the second Lotto jackpot win since a game refresh was introduced in September. That refresh reduced the total number of balls from 47 to 45. The adjustment altered the odds of winning the top prize from one in 10.7 million to one in 8.1 million. A retail location in Cork sold the first jackpot-winning ticket under the revised rules in October.

The Leitrim winner claims the distinction of being the 27th National Lottery millionaire of 2026. They are also the 15th millionaire generated specifically through Lotto and Lotto Plus games this year. Across all National Lottery games, the win brings the total number of 2026 millionaires to 37.
