Lotto buzz sweeps town despite RTÉ numbers blunder
The state broadcaster was forced to rectify a huge howler on air, after broadcasting the wrong numbers for two draws, including the main Lotto results.
Christmas, meanwhile, came a week early to the Tipperary town of Newport where locals are hoping the owner of the €4.8 million Lotto ticket is one of their own. Word spread like wildfire on Saturday night that Tom and Brenda Ryan’s Centra shop sold the €4 QuickPick sometime earlier in the day.
