Search is on for €16.7m lucky Lotto winner

THE search was on last night for the lucky €16.7 million Lotto winner as rumours swept the sunny south-east as to the identity of who had snapped up the golden ticket.

The country’s eyes were focused on the quiet coastal community of Dungarvan after the €16.7m winning ticket was purchased from Eason’s in the town’s shopping centre.

Shop owner Pat White explained that the colossal cash win was not the first time a customer had walked away from the shop with a lucky draw.
