Meanwhile, the search is still on to find a big Lotto winner, who landed a five-figure sum in Wednesday night's draw.

National Lottery bosses have confirmed that the big winner has yet to come forward and are appealing for players to check their numbers carefully. As part of the appeal, they have revealed where the golden ticket was purchased.
It's been confirmed that the winning bet was placed at Lidl in Nenagh on Martyr's Road. The Tipperary winner scooped their prize after purchasing their Quick Pick ticket on Tuesday, August 27.
