A lucky Lotto player has claimed a mammoth €3.9 million prize and plans to share it with his "nearest and dearest".
The winning ticket was bought in Bowe’s EuroSpar in the centre of Duleek village in County Meath. The winner was described as a "local man from Meath" but added that he preferred to remain anonymous.
He said: "I've had over a week to process the win and still can’t wrap my head around it! I kept double checking and triple checking the ticket all week to make sure I hadn’t made a mistake, but today, the ticket was confirmed, and I nearly keeled over when I received my cheque and seen all the numbers. It's the most surreal feeling ever.
