A family run shop in Dundalk, Co Louth is celebrating today after selling a €3.5 million jackpot winning lottery ticket.
Arthur's on the Newry Road has been in business for more than 112 years, and is now run by fifth generation owner Clodagh Arthur Duffy.
The winning ticket from the Valentines Day draw was sold on 11 February.
"We're so excited for them and thanks to them for shopping local with us," said Ms Arthur Duffy.
Located on the Newry Road, the shop gets a lot of passing trade as well as that from locals.
"The local community is very good at supporting the shop, we genuinely haven’t got a clue who it might be but we are just happy for them whoever they are, but hopefully it's in the community."
Ms Arthur Duffy said the atmosphere today was "unbelievable".
"My phone is hopping, between social media, people messaging, one customer messaged, she does her Lotto here all the time and this morning she messaged to say she was so excited checking her tickets at home."
This is not the first lotto win for the shop, as previous owner and Clodagh's father Bobby Arthur recalls.
He was one of the first shops to have a Lotto machine and attended one of the first training courses to use one.
Mr Arthur said there has been two big wins in the past, but they never found out who won.
Just recently, another customer won €75,000.
"It's not as big as this, but onwards and upwards, there's always the euro millions!" said Ms Arthur Duffy.
Sarah Orr from the National Lottery urged players to check their tickets to see if they have hit the jackpot.
The jackpot was worth €3,523,021 and the winning numbers were 1, 5, 10, 15, 44, 47 and the bonus number was 45.
The last winning jackpot was in January and worth over €14.6m.
The winning ticket was bought online and the numbers were 3, 8, 10, 24, 32, 41 and the bonus number was 30.
The ticket holder has three months to claim the prize.
