St Patrick was smiling down on Cork yesterday as two Lotto players won almost half a million euro between them. The first player from Bandon scooped €250,000 on Lotto Plus 2 while the second, from Midleton, won almost €220,000 after matching five numbers on the Lotto Jackpot draw. The tickets were bought in Bandon Books Plus in the Riverview Shopping Centre and in Supervalu in Townspark, Midleton. A delighted owner of Bandon Books Plus, Ross Twoomey, said: “We are absolutely thrilled at this news. Last night’s Lotto Jackpot of almost €4.7 million was not won.
