The winning Quick Pick ticket was sold on February 6 in the Day Today store on Bridge Street in Oughterard.

The winning EuroMillions numbers for last night’s draw were: 05, 10, 24, 31, 37 and lucky stars 09 and 10.

That has now rolled over to Friday evening’s draw, where a whopping €165,000,000 will be up for grabs.

This marks the second big Lotto win in Galway in less than a week as another lucky local who bought their Quick Pick ticket in O’Toole’s on Bishop Street in Tuam won the €500,000 EuroMillions Plus jackpot last week.
