Celebrations in Perrystown following €1 million win

A local shop in Dublin 12 was today revealed as the selling location of the €1 million winning ticket in the Millionaire Raffle draw.

Staff and customers were thrilled when the news was announced at the Mace store on Muckross Avenue in Perrystown.

Shop owner Sean Mooney was over the moon to start the year with a call from the National Lottery.

“Myself and my wife have owned the store here since the Lotto began back in the late 80s so we were delighted to hear that we sold a ticket worth €1 million,” he said.

“There’s been a buzz around the place all morning with customers popping in and seeing the champagne and the photos being taken.

“We’ve even had someone come in to check their ticket this morning and it turned out to have a €500 prize on it so lots of good news to start the year with.

“Here’s hoping that the top prize winner checks their ticket soon too – they could be sitting at home with a ticket worth €1 million and have no idea at all just what they have won,” he said.
