Buncrana in Donegal was tonight being called the luckiest town in the State after two winning Lotto jackpot tickets were sold there on the same day.

Two lucky loot players were celebrating winning over €1 million each in the midweek draw - after buying tickets within hours of each other in shops just yards apart.

Two of the three winning tickets of Wednesday's 3.04m euro jackpot were sold in the town on the day before the draw.

One was sold in the Post Office on Upper Main Street, while the other was sold in a supermarket on the Cockhill Road.

The third winners of the jackpot prize, a married couple from Dublin, have already collected their cheque for €1,016,069.

The couple, who did not wish to be named, bought their ticket in Newsfare on the North Circular Road in Phibsboro just before the draw took place.
