A LOTTO TICKET worth over €4.6 million and the first Lotto jackpot win of the year was sold in Drogheda, Co Louth.
A Centra store on the Platin Road in Drogheda has been revealed as the store that sold the winning ticket in Wednesday’s Lotto draw, worth €4,642,646.

“This is our first time ever selling a winning ticket, we are over the moon to have done so,” said Daly.
“We have a lot of regular customers, so it’s great to think that one of them may have won a life-changing prize.
“We wish the very best for the winner and may it bring them every happiness and success in the future.”
The Co Louth player, the first Lotto Jackpot winner of 2025, purchased the winning ticket on Saturday, 25 January from the Centra on Platin Road.
