Christine Harrington, owner of the Harbour Store spoke of her joy as one of her customers scooped the Lotto Plus 1 top prize.
“Since we got the call from the National Lottery to confirm our win last night, it’s been absolutely crazy in the shop.
"Word has spread throughout the town as people wake up to the news about the half million euro win.
"Yesterday was an exceptionally busy day for us in the store so we have no idea who the winner is. Along with our usual local customers, we also hosted hundreds of participants and officials of the Westport Triathlon event which took place yesterday.
"We’d like to congratulate the winner and I hope they enjoy their prize."
The winning Lotto Plus 1 numbers were: 11, 16, 17, 20, 40, 45 and the Bonus number was 37.
