Lottery player who won €2.4 million after buying a ticket in Myrtleville in May has claimed their prize
The lucky ticket was bought at O'Connells Foodstore in the seaside town on the 29th of May.
The winner hasn't been named but they did say that they couldn't believe that every number matched the ones printed on their ticket.
The jackpot winner was quick to check their ticket and realise their good fortune:
“I checked my ticket that night after the draw and as I went through the draw results, I just couldn’t believe that every number was matching the ones printed on my ticket. By the time I got through the results, I was definitely feeling overwhelmed. It certainly wasn’t easy getting to sleep that night and the next day was filled with a happy mix of shock and delight.”
“I still can’t quite believe my luck. It really is still the best news – every time I hear the National Lottery ad, I can’t believe that I’m now one of those winners! I’m going to take my time for now and let the news properly sink in before I decide what to do.”
