Belmullet toasts mystery €13.8m Lotto winner

It’s a shop that’s known for having “something for everyone” and now Carey’s in Belmullet can add Lotto Jackpots to its offering.

The lucky bookshop, newsagents, and gift store was buzzing with wellwishers as word spread among the town of just 1,000 people that the ticket worth €13.8m was sold there on Saturday.

In fact, if the so-far undeclared winner wanted to remain anonymous they would have been well advised to join in the fun because it would be easier to identify those who stayed away than those who came to celebrate.
