Irish Lotto Big Winner: Lucky Lotto Punter in Hat-trick Heaven

A lucky Irish Lottery punter with Betfred is celebrating a THIRD win in 2026 with the same numbers.

The Yorkshire-based winner scooped a whopping £69,000 for picking and matching four numbers in the Wednesday, March 18 draw.

This came just two weeks after landing £59,500 with the same numbers and only two months earlier, the quartet were drawn out to the tune of £25,000.
The numbers were 8, 9, 14 and 30.

"They are just random numbers" said the Sheffield scorer. "I used to play different numbers across all three Irish draws, but they never came out, so I just continued with these ones. Suppose it’s lucky these are the ones I stuck with.

"It’s great as I’ve got a few kids so it all helps. We are going for a trip down south in the summer and will sort my mortgage out".

"Congratulations to another big lottery winner and what a start to 2026 for them. To win big once is a great achievement, twice is incredible, but three times in three months with the same numbers is beyond belief.

"I wouldn’t be surprised if I am congratulating this lucky punter again in a few weeks’ time".
