THE CORK VILLAGE of Innishannon is celebrating today, after it was announced the Centra on Main Street sold the winning ticket to last Saturday’s National Lottery jackpot.
Worth €5,325,592, the quick pick ticket was sold on the day of the draw.
The winning numbers were 6, 8, 13, 15, 21, 30 with the bonus of 17.
Barry O’Sullivan, who owns the Centra, said he was “over the moon” with that his shop sold the winning ticket.
“It’s the first time we’ve sold a major National Lottery prize and the excitement around Innishannon is incredible since yesterday morning,” he said. “I hope this winner is one of our locals but we do get a heavy passing trade as we are situated on a national road.
Speculation is rife though and one local customer said he is going to play a prank and rent an expensive car for a few days and drive it around Innishannon so everyone will think it is him who has won. Whoever the winner is though we wish them every bit of luck enjoying this life-changing win.
A National Lottery spokesperson said this afternoon that the owner of the winning ticket has yet to make contact.

Heartbreaking for this woman’s family to receive such harrowing news. Also for the family of the accused, they must be in complete shock.
RIP Ann
I take it you read the daily rags. Who spout a lot of sensationalist crap without any thought to the family. Also exactly where did their ‘information’ come from?
RIP Anne. You will be missed.
What I know or do not know I will not splash all over the internet out of respect and decency to the family. News media like vultures picking over the story with no regard for the living. Just because RTE and the Independent say something most definitely does NOT make it gospel.
Journal censors working overtime again, deleting comments. Different day same old same old.
Well Helen you are the one who inferred it was ‘sensationalist crap’ but now you decline to back up your assertion.
Can we just let the family have some peace now and let the Garda do their thing.
No I do not decline to back up my comment. I decline to feed the vultures. There is a difference.
Yeah and the rolling stone catches no moss…There’s also no place like home!! But what exactly is your point here?
I’m assuming you’re not so sick as to be laying blame on the deceased?
Lolo … comment was deleted so I can’t repost it or I’ll be barred (again)
I was referring to the comment made by ‘ss’
Comments open??????
Nobody had been charged yet that’s why they are still open
The journal amazes me. Open comments here but closed elsewhere on anything to do with SF sex abuse.
Guilty guilty guilty.
Agree with you 100%. The journal is a pro Sinn Fein as the Indo is pro Government. Journalists are an utter joke in this country.
Man, the sensitivity trigger on the censorship gun here, is very very twitchy.
Rip in peace
have your say
