A Lotto player in County Leitrim, Ireland, has won a jackpot worth €4,769,938 in the draw on Wednesday, 4 November 2026, becoming Ireland’s 27th National Lottery millionaire of 2026. The winning ticket was a Quick Pick bought at a family-run store in the town of Drumshanbo.
The winning numbers were 8, 11, 13, 17, 37 and 45, with a bonus number of 3. The ticket holder matched all six numbers to take one of the biggest Lotto prizes of the year in Ireland. The National Lottery confirmed the win on Thursday, 5 November 2026, and said the location where the ticket was sold would be announced the following day.
A Quick Pick from a family-run shop
On Friday, 6 November 2026, the National Lottery revealed that the winning Quick Pick ticket was bought on Wednesday, 4 November at Scollan’s Gala store on Church Street in Drumshanbo, County Leitrim. The identity of the family-run store that sold the ticket was confirmed by local reports the same day.
The win is the 15th millionaire created by the Lotto and Lotto Plus games in Ireland this year, and the second Lotto jackpot win since changes to the game were introduced in September 2026. National Lottery spokesperson Darragh O’Dwyer described the result as an incredible win for the Leitrim player, and the National Lottery confirmed that the winner has since come forward, with arrangements being made for a visit to Lottery Headquarters to collect the prize.
A small town, a very big win
Drumshanbo is a small town in County Leitrim, and a jackpot win of almost €4.8 million is the kind of news that travels fast in a close community. The store that sold the ticket will now be known locally as the place where a fortune was bought, and Quick Pick players across Ireland will be reminded that the numbers are chosen at random — no system, no lucky pattern, just a ticket printed by a machine.
The winner has not been named publicly, and Irish lottery winners are not obliged to take part in publicity. What is known is that the prize has been claimed in the sense that the holder has made contact, and the formal collection process is under way.
Ireland’s millionaire-making year
The Leitrim win continues a strong year for the Irish National Lottery, with 27 millionaires created across its games in 2026. For players, the message is familiar but worth repeating: the odds of matching all six numbers are long, the ticket costs a few euro, and the prize on offer in the Wednesday draw was life-changing money.
For one player in Leitrim, a routine Quick Pick on a Wednesday in November has done exactly that.
