A Beaufort Lotto winner who successfully scooped €257,723 in Saturday night's draw was just one number shy of winning the third highest jackpot of all time!

The winner matched five numbers and the bonus to win a massive €257,723 in Saturday night’s mega draw which had a top prize of €16,419,005.

The winning Normal Play ticket was purchased on the day of the draw at Carson’s Daybreak store in Beaufort village.

Owner of the winning store, Melvin Carson, who is a fifth generation storekeeper in Beaufort village, was thrilled to hear that one of his customers had scooped the Lotto prize of €257,723.

“My phone rang late on Saturday night and when I saw it was from the National Lottery, my heart nearly stopped because I knew I must have sold a big winner. What a story that would have been, to have a €16 million Euro winner in such a small Kerry village,” he laughed.

“It’s not the jackpot prize but it’s still a brilliant prize for one of my customers to win. We are a very small, close knit community down here in Beaufort and I can guarantee that whoever it is, it will be such a well deserving prize. We are a small local convenience store and post office with five employees so it’s a tremendous feeling here knowing that one of our customers is over a quarter of a million Euro richer. I know the entire village will be buzzing at this news so we wish them every bit of success with their win,” he said.

The winning numbers were: 09, 14, 22, 24, 37, 44 and the bonus was 45.

The winning ticket holder is advised to sign the back of their ticket and keep it in a safe place. They should contact the prize claims team on 1800 666 222 or email claims@lottery.ieand arrangements will be made for them to claim their prize.

As there was no winner of the €16,419,005 jackpot on offer in Saturday night’s draw, Wednesday’s jackpot is now estimated to roll to €17 million, the second highest jackpot ever to be on offer in the history of the game in Ireland.

This Culture Night, Muireann Nic Amhlaoibh will present an hour-long live music and arts programme from Dún Lúiche in the heart of the Donegal Gaeltacht at 7pm on RTÉ One and RTÉ Player.  

Actress and singer Jessie Buckley has been added to the list of stellar musicians who will perform with the RTÉ Concert Orchestra on the night. Jessie will perform a special rendition of a Sinéad O’Connor song in tribute to the late artist. 

Jessie commented: “I am very honoured to return to Culture Night 2023 to remember Sinéad O Connor with the RTÉ Concert Orchestra. Sinéad was such a huge influence on so many women in Ireland and across the world, her courage, her mind, her politics and her intense beauty and soul. She was a warrior to humanity. I remember hearing her for the first time and feeling her uncompromising need to connect and affect. Recognising what couldn’t be said and speaking it out loud. I am so grateful for all her fire and all her love. It is such a privilege to return to Ireland for RTÉ Culture Night in Donegal to sing a song of gratitude for Sinéad and her family and friends.” 

Other artists performing with the RTÉ Concert Orchestra include The Murder Capital, R&B singer and 2FM Rising star Aby Coulibaly and Irish-based Ukrainian musician Olesya Zdorovetska.

The revealing of the preferred route corridor for the construction of the new Killarney to Farranfore road has been delayed – again.

Four potential routes for the N22 Farranfore-Killarney project were identified and were put out to public consultation in May 2021. These have now been whittled down to just one.

It was previously promised that the preferred route would be published late last year.

This dragged on in to the Spring and there is still no sigh of the preferred route being revealed.

A recent Kerry County Council meeting a council official explained that there are further funding requirements to allow the council complete various reports and investigations required before the road can move to its next phase.
