Two lottery players in Kerry and Dublin secured €38,196 each after matching five numbers and the bonus ball in the Wednesday night draw, according to the National Lottery. The winning ticket in County Kerry was purchased on the day of the draw at Hannah Mary’s Country Store XL located in Tullig Lower, Killorglin, as reported by Tralee Today.
The Bottom Line
- Prize Breakdown: The winning Match 5 + Bonus ticket yielded a payout of exactly €38,196 for the Kerry-based player.
- Retail Location: The ticket was transacted at Hannah Mary’s Country Store XL in Tullig Lower, Killorglin, on the date of the draw.
- Claim Protocol: National Lottery officials advise the winner to sign the reverse of the physical slip and contact the Prize Claims team directly.
The Numbers Behind the Midweek Draw
The winning digits for the Wednesday draw were 11, 17, 26, 28, 33, and 46, accompanied by the bonus number 43. While no single ticket claimed the overarching jackpot, the Match 5 plus bonus tier distributed significant capital to participants at opposite ends of the nation. Alongside the Killorglin purchase, a second major ticket matching the same criteria was sold at Spar Rathborne in Dublin, according to Dublin Live.
Here is the math: securing a five-number-plus-bonus match is a statistical outlier within the broader probability matrix of the national game.
| Match Category | Winning Locations | Prize Value (Per Ticket) |
|---|---|---|
| Match 5 + Bonus | Killorglin (Kerry), Rathborne (Dublin) | €38,196 |
| Jackpot | Unclaimed / Rollover | Pending |
Protocol for Claiming High-Value Retail Slips
National Lottery spokesperson Sarah Orr outlined the immediate steps required for the holders of these five-figure winning instruments. “Two Lotto players at opposite sides of the country have plenty to celebrate today after matching five numbers and the bonus in Wednesday’s draw to win an incredible €38,196 each,” Orr stated, according to coverage by the Irish Mirror.
Recipients of the €38,196 payout are instructed to execute specific administrative safeguards. This includes signing the reverse of the paper ticket immediately to establish physical ownership. Winners must then contact the Prize Claims team or initiate coordination via official channels to arrange a secure visit to Lottery Headquarters for validation and disbursement.
