Lotto multi-millionaire not yet identified

RUMOUR was rife in Ballyfermot, Co Dublin, yesterday as to who won the fifth-largest Lotto jackpot of just under €7 million.

A posse of print and television reporters descended on the area, but conflicting reports circulated as to where the winner might live.

The winning ticket 17, 21, 27, 38, 40 and 42 and bonus number 11 was purchased last Thursday at Tesco.
