A KILDARE FAMILY is celebrating after winning half a million euro in the EuroMillions Plus draw.
The National Lottery said today that the winners were a family syndicate from Co Kildare who bought their quick pick ticket in a shop in Athy.
The winners were understandably described as “excited” when they collected their cheque for €500,000 at the National Lottery offices.
They won the top prize in last Friday’sEuroMillions draw on 25 October.
They didn’t want their names to be revealed, but did say:
We’re so happy. We’ve been playing for years and while you always hope it’ll be you, you never expect it to happen. It’s all so surreal.
The group’s €24 multi draw winning ticket was bought in Murphys, Ballylinan, Athy, Co Kildare on Tuesday 22 October.
They toasted their good fortune with a glass of champagne, saying: “We’re looking forward to making plans for the win. It’s a really exciting time.”
Tonight’s EuroMillions jackpot is a guaranteed €15 million (but you had to buy your ticket before 7.30pm).
