Clever Irish punter wins over €100k on EuroMillions despite only matching enough to officially win €34

A Dubliner is thanking their lucky stars this weekend after a run of Lotto numbers struck gold and landed them over €115,000.

The anonymous punter placed a wager via their online BoyleSports account for Friday evening’s EuroMillions draw and picked out a €3.50 accumulator which left them hoping for four numbers to come out against mammoth odds of 33,000/1.

They opted for numbers 7, 12, 13 and 20 and before they knew it, the celebrations were in full flow as all four numbers rolled out triggering the marvellous payout and defying the massive odds.

When the wager was tallied up, it made for a stunning windfall amount of €115,503.50, all from a €3.50 investment which is truly life changing.

Was the player to match those numbers in the actual draw they would have come home with €34.

Sarah Kinsella, spokesperson for BoyleSports said: “We took a bit of a hammering on our Lotto markets on Friday, but we have to send huge congratulations to our Dublin customer whose €3.50 bet paid off in style. They took a shot at the odds and it’s turned into a bit of a life-changer so fair play to them for aiming big and winning a life-changing amount of €115,503.50.”
