The Dublin 9 player bought the lucky ticket at Centra on Lower Drumcondra Road and collected his prize at National Lottery headquarters this week. Centra Drumcondra store manager Josh Thornton said staff were delighted to hear the shop had sold the winning ticket. It’s great to get a call like this from the National Lottery as we love to hear that one of our customers has won big,” he said.
