A lucky punter scooped a whopping €30,000 prize with just three numbers this week in the Euromillions - and they didn't even have a ticket.
The Cork winner cashed in on a run of good fortune on the Lotto with a well-thought-out bet to land the five-figure prize.
The anonymous player put on a €20 wager in a BoyleSports shop in the county, picking just three numbers to come out in the main EuroMillions draw on Tuesday.

They were left waiting on numbers 20, 21, and 45 and faced odds of 1,500/1 against all three landing.
However, those odds plummeted as the numbers started to roll out and were entirely smashed within seconds.
The lucky run of numbers allowed them to return to the shop and hand over their bet slip in return for a staggering total of €30,020.
Lawrence Lyons, spokesperson for BoyleSports said: “Huge congratulations to our County Cork customer who couldn’t have made a better start to the year with three numbers delivering €30,000 profit.
“Fair play to them for taking on the odds and we hope they enjoy a treat at the January sales!”
