IF YOU STILL have your ticket from last Saturday night’s Lotto, you might want to have another look at the numbers – because you could have won some money after all.
The National Lottery has revealed that the numbers drawn for last Saturday’s Lotto Plus 2 draw were read incorrectly.
A misprint on one of the seven numbers drawn meant that the number 9 ball was mistakenly read out as being the number 6.
The numbers printed on balls 6 and 9 in the National Lottery draws are underlined, so that the difference between the two can be clearly made out.
The Lottery says, however, that a misprint on the 9 ball for last Saturday’s draw meant that the line was placed on the wrong side of the digit. As a result, the number was read out as being ’6′.
In order to atone for the error, Lotto authorities have agreed to pay out on both sets of numbers – significantly increasing the number of prizes on offer for a ticket holder.
Anyone whose ticket would have claimed a prize, if the number 6 had been drawn instead of the 9, can sign the back of the ticket and return it with their name, address and phone number to: Lotto Plus 2, National Lottery, Abbey Street Lower, Dublin 1.
The Lottery will refund the cost of postage for any successful ticket.
For the record, the numbers drawn in Saturday’s Lotto Plus 2 draw were 3, 9, 23, 39, 40 and 42. The bonus number was 10.
There were no winners of the top €250,000 prize with the correct numbers – but with 38 people recorded as having matched five of the six numbers, it’s possible that some lucky punter’s €250 prize could now be worth a whole lot more.

The wait for GTA 5 must have cracked her up.
Born in 1990 & somehow becomes a senile 70 yr old.
Missed the bit where it said she was born in 1990 did ya?
What has a 22/3 year old woman and compulsory testing of over 70′s got in common to this story??
Didn’t see that! Just some nut job so…, probably on the crack.
Ah 70. Math wasn’t your best subject in school was it.
Jason, I find your comment incredibly insulting. We people of a certain age have much to offer the community.
Are you over 70 Jason?
Such as?
Or maybe she has mental health issues or just felt like seizing the day!! Enough assumptions and stereotypes!
Lighten up. I think he’s only messing. Don’t be extremely offended.
Ah, troll. Everyone calm down and ignore Jason. Hopefully he’ll head back under his bridge
Police are baffled as to what the loco motive for the crime was.
Apparently a disgruntled employee who was suspended for bringing stock home without permission in the past
Nice try…
Too subtle?
Maybe too subtle alright…see how many likes it gets!
She must have had no training !
“Bing bong, Will the person who took the 18.12 to Stockholm please bring it back as the passengers and driver are looking for it”
I heard she came from the wrong side of the tracks
Women drivers eh?
How did she escape the kitchen is what I’d like to know
Maybe she’s just living out how she feels , off the rails ?
She’s gone off the rails…completely.
She left the immersion on!
Don’t you just hate that…you work hard to build up your reputation and then throw it all away by crashing a train into a 3 storey building..
Hate when that happens!
Should hear my plane story
Probably just wanted a platform .
[pedantic mode] Article sub title says no one was injured yet the woman that stole the carriage was seriously injured and flown to hospital?? Does she not count? ;)[/pedantic mode]
I bet it still ran on time
She wanted to fast track her membership of the Swedish house Mafia
Give her a break , who hasn’t slammed a train into a three storey building at some stage in there life
She should have used the brakes she had so she wouldn’t crash.
Midnight train to Georgia???
She was on the wrong gear
Looks like the crash in coronation street !!
How do you not get injured physically?
Mentally
Mentally injured. Eh, okay.
Am….yes. Mental isint it?
She needs a little bit more training
That’s all
Maybe the temptation of driving a train instead of cleaning it got the better of her so she decided to go for a short joyride.
This is straight-up off the AP wire.

Maybe she had just watched Spiderman 2 and wanted to meet him in person
have your say
