Owner of the winning store, Robert Ely was delighted to get the call of his store’s big win on Tuesday night. “To be honest, I wish I was getting the call to say I was the winner”, he laughed. “Ah no, but I’m absolutely over the moon, it’s great news and I really do hope it’s one of the locals in area who’s won it”.
Robert has been running the store for 17 years in Clonmel and said this is the biggest win they’ve had to date; “We’ve had a couple of Telly Bingo wins in the past couple of years, but this latest one is by far the largest amount on a winning ticket we’ve sold. We’re thrilled to be a part of this special moment in someone’s life, and we’ll aim to keep the smiles rolling and dreams alive for all our customers.”
There was no winner of the EuroMillions jackpot which was worth €39,998,137. Which means Friday’s (16th June) jackpot is now set to roll to an estimated €55 million.
Meanwhile tonight’s Lotto Jackpot is estimated to be €12 million, the biggest jackpot of the year to date.
