And there was another special day for a lucky player who won €100k on New Year's Eve as they picked up their winnings at Lotto HQ on Abbey Street. The private player cheered "happy days" as they collected the prize.
She said: "My brother actually bought the ticket for me as a present. I bet he’s wishing he held on to it now! I got my daughter to ring up the National Lottery claims team to find out how much I’d won, and I thought she was messing with me when she said it was €100k, I just couldn’t believe it! Here I was walking around with the ticket in my pocket for days not bothering to check it and then, just like that, overnight its worth €100k.
“I wrapped it up, placed it in a box and stored it away, but I made sure to take a picture of where I hid it and send it to my daughter, as I’ve lost things before doing that!”
The ticket was bought in Daybreak on Main Street in Dundrum and the lucky lady is hoping to get a new worktop and cooker with the winnings. A lovely sum of €50k was also picked up by a family from Ballyshannon in Co Donegal.
