A QUICK Pick ticket which was sold at a shop in Clare came within one number of sharing the Lotto jackpot of €6.4 million on Saturday.
The ticket was sold at Loughville Motors Centra store on the Lahinch Road in Ennis and came agonisingly close to sharing the big prize.
However the owner of the ticket still has plenty to celebrate with the Lotto match five plus bonus prize worth €61,382.
Anybody who bought their ticket at the store is being urged to check their tickets.
“With so many big winners in Saturday’s Lotto draw, we are asking everyone who bought a ticket for the draw to check their tickets carefully,” said a National Lottery spokesperson.
“If you are one of the winners of these prizes, stay calm and be sure to sign the back of the ticket and keep it in a safe place.
