The National Lottery is urging people in Galway to check their tickets, after an Athenry player won €500,000.
The Daily Million Plus prize was won earlier on Thursday in the town.
It is now asking its Daily Million players in Athenry and surrounding areas to check their tickets.
The winning ticket was bought today at Joyce’s Service Station, The Arch on the Caheroyn Road.
Shop owner Pat Joyce said: "It’s a lovely bit of news to get and some great news for the town so to have sold this winning ticket is very exciting.
"Our customers in the service station tend to be regulars from the local town so hopefully one of them is finding out that they are half a million better off today.
"Congratulations to the winner and I wish them the very best for the future".
The winning Daily Million Plus numbers from the draw were: 01, 03, 08, 09, 23, 27 and the bonus number was 33.
A National Lottery spokesperson said: "For the second Thursday in a row, the afternoon Daily Million Plus top prize has been won.
"We are now encouraging all our Daily Million players who may have stopped for fuel at Joyce’s Service Station in Athenry to check their tickets at lottery.ie or by using the National Lottery app to see if it is you who has won this prize."
"If you are this lucky winner you can contact the National Lottery prize claims team If you are the lucky winner, please sign the back of the ticket and contact our prize claims team on 1800-666-222 or email claims@lottery.ie".
Prizes can be collected once COVID-19 restrictions are lifted.
This is the second major win at one of Pat’s stores in less than a year - last June a winning Lotto ticket worth €4,051,610 was sold at Joyce’s Supermarket in Doughiska, Co Galway.
This is also the second time in a week that the Daily Million Plus top prize has been won, where the ticket was sold at a service station.
The same prize was won last Thursday - with the ticket being bought at the Circle K Service Station in Ashbourne, Co Meath.
The winner of this prize made contact with the National Lottery earlier this week.
The National Lottery has reminded players that it has extended the period of time that winners can collect prizes.
Winners have an extra three months in which they can claim their prize.
