Emma Monaghan, spokesperson for the National Lottery said, “What a win for Co. Louth - a huge congratulations to our latest Lotto jackpot winner who has just scored an incredible €7,129,505. In total, over 90,000 players won prizes in the Lotto & Lotto Plus draws.

In total, more than €6.5 billion has been raised for Good Causes since the National Lottery was established 37 years ago. In 2024 alone, €239.3 million was raised for local Good Causes in communities across Ireland.
