They said: “That Saturday night back in January is still a blur and even though we’re finally collecting a cheque for over €19 million, we’re still waiting for somebody to tell us that we made a mistake and we’re not the winners at all!

“There was a lot of excitement about the draw that night, so we watched it on the television at home.

“I had the ticket in my hand and to see the six numbers come out one after another was like an out of body experience – it’s impossible to explain.

“We didn’t get carried away one bit because we thought that there was no way we could have won it.

“We got the phones out and frantically started scanning it on the National Lottery App.

“After about 20 minutes, the ticket scanned, and a message popped up that will live with us all for the rest of our lives. It said, ‘You’ve won big!’ It was such an incredible moment.”
