Date Published: 08-May-2011
THE latest Lotto millionaire bought the 4 euro quick pick ticket, now worth over 5 million, at the Happy Days shop in the Galway Shopping Centre, Headford Road.
Mary Daly, who operates the newsagents, confectionery and stationery shop with her husband Stephen, says the winning ticket was purchased sometime on Saturday.
But as yet they have no idea who the lucky winner of the weekend Lotto is.
"It could be some little old lady from nearby Bohermore, or it could be some stranger passing through who might have walked in and bought the ticket. Irrespective of who it is we are delighted," says Mary.
The numbers drawn were 7, 12, 24, 36, 43 and 45. The bonus number was 34.

A date will be set next October for the trial of a 52-year old Connemara man, who is charged with assaulting traditional Irish musician Noel Hill five years ago.
Michael Folan from Teach Mór, Lettermullen, is charged with intentionally or recklessly causing serious harm to Noel Hill at Tí Padraig Mairtín Beag in Leitir Mór, on St Stephen’s Day, 2008.
The matter had been listed for trial on several occasions before Galway Circuit Criminal Court in the intervening period.
It was referred to the High Court in Dublin last year for judicial review after Michael Folan said he wanted his trial heard ‘as Gaeilge’and that a bi-lingual jury be made available to hear the case.
At Galway Circuit Criminal Court, Judge Rory McCabe adjourned the case for mention to October when it’s expected a date will be set for trial.
