As we went to press, speculation was still continuing as to who won the €4m lotto prize in Tramore last week.
The National Lottery has confirmed that the winning Lotto Jackpot ticket from Saturday night’s draw (19th April) was purchased at Tramore Post Office.
A special media event was held at Tramore Post Office last Wednesday, 23 April, to announce the store as having sold the winning ticket.
The Lotto player purchased their all-important Quick Pick ticket from the Post Office, which is now worth an astounding €4,038,682, on Wednesday, 9th April.
The winning numbers for Saturday night’s Lotto draw were: 6, 18, 25, 26, 36, 43 and the Bonus was 44.
Speaking to The Munster Express, Sean Martin, Postmaster, Tramore Post Office and President of the Irish Postmasters’ Union, said they don’t know who won the €4m, “but we hope it’s a local person”.
Mr. Martin said the ticket was purchased on 9 April for several draws, and speculated that it could very well be a syndicate.
“We presume it’s a syndicate – hopefully it is, because the more who get a share of the jackpot, the better,” Mr. Martin said.
The €4m winning lottery ticket is the biggest win so far at Tramore Post Office.
Mr. Martin said they had a few big winners on the Winning Streak scratch cards and a €10,000 lottery winner, “but this is our biggest win”.
“We’re hugely delighted,” Mr. Martin said. “It’s great, it’s created a bit of a buzz [in Tramore]. We had a ‘cash call’ winner as well during the week – so, money is coming to Tramore – this is the place to be – this is the new Donnybrook of Ireland,” jested Mr. Martin.
He added: “We wish the very best for the winner and hope it brings them every happiness and success in the future. It’s a well-deserved lift for the community here in Tramore!”
Darragh O’Dwyer, spokesperson for the National Lottery, said they are still waiting for the winner to come forward.
“They’ve plenty of time – 90 days to claim their prize,” said Darragh, speaking to The Munster Express.
“It’s a great day for Tramore. This is the sixth National Lottery jackpot winner of 2025 and the 11th National Lottery millionaire in 2025.”
Darragh said Waterford appears to be on a winning streak at the moment: “There was a Daily Millions Plus winner, who won €500,000 last month. The next thing for Waterford to win is the Euromillions jackpot!”
